San Francisco Bay 
Past pier thirty nine 
Early p.m. 
Can't remember what time 
Got the waiting cab 
Stopped at the red light 
Address, unsure of 
But it turned out just right 

It started straight off 
"Coming here is hell" 
That's his first words 
We asked what he meant 
He said " where ya' from ?"
We told him our lot 
"When ya' take a holiday 
Is this what you want ?"

So have a nice day 
Have a nice day 
Have a nice day 
Have a nice day 

Lie around all day 
Have a drink to chase 
"Yourself and tourists, yeah 
That's what I hate" 
He said "We're going wrong 
We've all become the same 
We dress the same ways 
Only our accents change"

So have a nice day
Have a nice day 
Have a nice day 
Have a nice day 

Swim in the ocean 
That be my dish 
I drive around all day 
And kill processed fish 
It's all money gum 
No artists anymore 
You're only in it now 
To make more, more, more 

So have a nice day 
Have a nice day 
Have a nice day 
Have a nice day 

Have a nice day 
Have a nice day 
Have a nice day 
Have a nice day?
