about

Co-written with Michael Karns as part of a songwriting chain game called a morph. This was the fourth song in the chain and the game requirements are to only listen to the preceeding song in the chain and change about 50 percent of the song. A friend had posted a meme on Facebook of a cat standing upright, holding a banjo, with the caption "Let me play you a song called there is no food in my bowl". Michael's first verse was about spending time with a cat so off I went.

lyrics

It's A Good Day
Words and music by Andy Getch and Michael Karns

Verse 1
(Am) It's a good day for you humanoids to pet the cat
(D) The human occupants just haven't done enough of that
(Fmaj7) Morning dung is made and a lap is a welcome mat
(Am) There is no food in my bowl

Verse 2
(Am) It's a good day for this killer cat to sniff the air
(D) all those litter box aromas breezing through the stair
(Fmaj7) hummingbirds and finches to chase and scare
(Am) It's a good day to hear me sing out loud if you care

Refrain
(Am) There is no food in my bowl (D) There is no food in my bowl
(Emaj7) There is no food in my (Fmaj7) bow oh oh oh oh oul
(Am) There is no food in my bowl (D) There is no food in my bowl
(Emaj7) There is no food in my (Fmaj7) bow oh oh oh oh oul
(Am) humans won't you feed me now

Bridge
(A) As humans go
(A) Be boppa doopa (D)Be boppa doopa doo ay
(A) Be boppa doopa (E) Be boppa doopa dooee
(A) Jumping over cracks and (D) strumming on a fence
(A) Eating apples and, (E) running from a bee
(D) drawing cartoons, or (A) staring at the moon (Am)
(Am) It's a good day for you humans to feed me now
Come home and just feed me now
Don’t go to yoga just feed me now
Don’t go to acoustic flow just feed me now

Repeat refrain

Verse 3
(Am) It's a good day for this killer cat to sing out loud with all my heart
(D) My one and only favorite song, you will hear all of the parts
(Fmaj7) as you smile and nod in the laundry room like I'm smart
(Am) It's a good day for this killer cat to sing out loud with all my heart

Repeat refrain twice
