LyricsEdit

It's a great day, a beautiful day.

The kind of day that makes me want to say:

"I'm glad that I'm alive. I'm happy to be me."

And that's the way to be.

See how the clouds go drifting by.

See how the sun lights up the sky.

On a day like this; summer, winter, fall, or spring,

It makes me want to sing.

It's a great day, a beautiful day.

The kind of day that makes me want to say:

"I'm glad that I'm alive. I'm happy to be me."

And that's the way to be.

See all the colors of the world.

See all your friends, each boy and girl.

On a day like this when it's great to work and play,

It makes me want to say:

It's a great day, a beautiful day.

The kind of day that makes me want to say:

"I'm glad that I'm alive. I'm happy to be me."

And that's the way to be.

"I'm glad that I'm alive. I'm happy to be me."

And that's the way to be.

TriviaEdit

• The song is usually performed in a group of 3 or more people with Barney joining in, however in at least 2 episodes, it was performed as a duet or three people and without the Barney vocals (an example of this is in the Season 4 episode A Picture of Health and the Season 5 episode It's a Rainy Day!)
• This song can be also seen as an underscore in some episodes. Such as Welcome, Cousin Riff and A-Counting We Will Go (video).
