Today I have a headache –
Is it because I ate that extra piece of cake?
Maybe it was the jumping up and down,
Or the night I had on the town?

Today I have a headache –
It is pounding its way in like a stake.
It feels like a drill is in my head.
I need to rest
I will go to my bed.

Today is a new day and the sun is aglow,
The headache is gone, no more lying low.
I can do what I want; I know it’s a sign.

My headache is gone and wow, I feel fine!
No headache, no pain, I won’t go insane!
I will eat extra cake and jump up and down
I will even go back and tear up the town.

Oh, what a day to play.
