Bobbie Gentry - Local Gentry

Sittin' Pretty

I'm just sittin' pretty watchin' the flowers grow
Beneath my window
Oh, just feelin' my oats and coastin' mostly
As they say
Can you come out and play? mm-mm

I'm just feelin' silly lovin' the feelin' so
In my big toe
Oh, just watchin' the ceilin'
Reelin', stealin' that whole show
Beginnin' to make my day, mm-mm

For today is a day, quite a day, mm-mm-hmm
Full of gay daydreamin', that's all
Yes, today is the day Ferguson Emmett P. Summerall
Comes to call

We'll be flyin' mighty high in the afternoon
Laughter turnin' into somethin' kin to
Gettin' into where I've been
Oh, what a happy day, mm-mm

For today is a day, quite a day, mm-mm-hmm
Full of gay daydreamin', that's all
Yes, today is the day that Ferguson Emmett P. Summerall
Comes to call

We'll be flyin' mighty high in the afternoon
Laughter turnin' into somethin' kin to
Gettin' into where I've been
Oh, what a happy day, mm-mm
Oh, what a happy day
Oh, what a happy day, mm-mm
