A'int My Day Lyrics - Happy Planet - Wall Of Voodoo

Chrokee sat on the same barstool 

everyday 'til his wife dragged him back. 

Drinking and talking about the old days, 

"They don't make them anymore like that." 

I did extra work in the movies for so long, 

that starring role never camethrough... 

Horse opera stories were my specialty, 

I remember when I met the Duke. 

Oh- it ain't my day... 

Oh- it ain't my day... 

Now I'm sixty years old 

and I sit by the phone, 

Every night by the light of the soaps 

I'll bet my last dollar 

that Jock and his sons never once 

Burned their hands on a rope... 

Oh- it ain't my day... 

Oh- it ain't my day... 

And I'm trying to, dying to, 

sit back and see my old face, 

Oh- it ain't my day... 

Oh- it ain't my day...
