The smokestack spitting black soot into the sooty sky
The load on the road brings a tear to the Indian's eye
The elephant won't forget what it's like inside his cage
The ringmaster's Telecaster sings on an empty stage

Uh-huh, goddamn right, it's a beautiful day
Uh-huh, goddamn right, it's a beautiful day
Uh-huh

The girl with the curls and the sweet pink ribbon in her hair
She's crawlin' out her window 'cause her daddy just don't care
Come on

Uh-huh, goddamn right, it's a beautiful day
Uh-huh, goddamn right, it's a beautiful day
Uh-huh

The clown with the frown driving down to the sidewalk fair
Finger on the trigger, let me tell you, it is quite a scare

Uh-huh, goddamn right, it's a beautiful day
Uh-huh, goddamn right, it's a beautiful day
Uh-huh

The kids flip their lids when their heads hear that crazy sound
My neighbor digs the flavor, still, he's moving to another town
And I don't believe he's gonna come back

Goddamn right, it's a beautiful day
Uh-huh, goddamn right, it's a beautiful day
Uh-huh

And I don't know how you're taking all the shit you see
You don't believe anyone, but most of all, don't believe me
Only you

Goddamn right, it's a beautiful day (Only you)
Uh-huh, goddamn right, it's a beautiful day
Uh-huh, goddamn right, it's a beautiful day
Uh-huh, goddamn right, it's a beautiful day
Uh-huh
EELS

Eels (often typeset as eels or EELS) is an American rock band formed in Los Angeles in 1991 by singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Mark Oliver Everett, known by the stage name E. Band members have changed over the years, both in the studio and on stage, making Everett the only official member for most of the band's work. Eels' music is often filled with themes of family, death, and unrequited love. Since 1996, Eels has released fourteen studio albums, seven of which charted in the Billboard 200.

Anyone know what the CASIO keyboard sound at the beginning and end is? Maybe a Speak N Spell or something?

I'm 52 and I loved it.  I can understand the "not wanting to play it in an insurance office".  I mean, the insurance business is so full of purity and love.  Sorry about the sarcasm.  If you don't want it to offend any customers or coworkers, maybe you should get some earplugs.  And if you are the one offended, oh well.  Buy the Walmart version with "Doggone right, it's a beautiful day" (if such a thing exists).

Actually no, an insurance office with 22 employees. I like RP so much i have it on the background music, as well as telephone hold with 10 active lines. I was humiliated and embarrassed by this. It's a good song if you are a kid and started smoking and want to show everyone how edgy and cool you are, but in the grownup world, this is patently inappropriate and embarrassing. A mature grownup does not cuss in public. But I thank you kindly for asking.
 
I'm 55(not a kid)and love this song.......goddamn right!
Get a life!
Not ashamed
 to have other adults hear it either.

 Would it make me a bad person if I suggested that Mr. Uptight roll up his "mature grownup"  really tight and shove it up his goddamn ass?
I am a mature grownup who pays my bills, works hard every day in a shirt and tie, and swears in public if I damn well feel like it, as long as I'm around adults of similar mindset.  I'm not going go to out of my way to offend people, but I'm also not going to censor myself because some prude gets his knickers in a twist.

And it serves him right for having people hear it like that.  Honestly if anyone is going to play something in public that isn't directly controlled and edited for content, then they shouldn't be surprised if they hear something that they don't like.  Want watered down and easily digestible mindless sheep sound?  Get Muzak or something.

edit: Yes, I know that was an old post...

I did when I could, but did not appreciate being blindsided. This is the .000001% of childish nonsense that corrupts RP.
