The Toast Lyrics - Tom Scullin

Well I woke up this morning 

feeling highly down 

looked into the mirror 

to appreciate my frown 

what's the use of feeling bad 

if no one else will know 

it's the better part of feeling low 

Well I'm trying to recall 

all the troubles on my mind 

guess I'll go to yesterday 

to see what I can find 

there's a reason to this madness 

if you'd really like to know 

it's the better part of feeling low 

"CHORUS" 

Well I finally got the message 

that a body has to pay 

if you have a good time 

there's a bad one on the way 

and it seems to last much longer 

than the pleasure that you've had 

Here's hoping all your good times aren't bad 

Well I asked myself a question 

one bright and happy day 

what's the use of feeling good 

if it ain't gonna stay 

goodness must be relative 

and if that's really so 

there's a better part of feeling low 

"CHORUS" 

Well I finally got the message 

that a body has to pay 

if you have a good time 

there's a bad one on the way 

and it seems to last much longer 

than the pleasure that you've had 

Here's hoping all your good times aren't bad 

So I woke up this morning 

feeling highly down 

looked into the mirror 

to appreciate my frown 

what's the use of feeling bad 

if no one else will know 

it's the better part of feeling low
