The sun is shining, not a cloud in the sky
My stars are aligning and I swear that I
Could do anything
On such a beautiful day
(It really is, it's such a beautiful day)
And like a baby bird comin' out of my cage,
My life's an open book, I'm gonna write a new page
And I know that I'm mixing my metaphors
But you can probably get the main gist of what I'm trying to say
(She mixed her metaphors but we know what she's sayin')
I don't remember ever feeling so optimistic
I'll admit it just a little uncharacteristic
'Cause I know that I've been known to be antagonistic
But I don't even think I'm gonna go ballistic
As long as my brothers don't...
Build some big enormous thing
That makes me go "no way!"
But disappears before my mother gets home
Like when they built a giant rollercoaster... Nope, nope, nope, nope, nope! I'm not gonna go there.
(It really is, it's such a beautiful day)
I'm gonna keep my outlook bright and cheery
Gonna think some happy thoughts and gonna keep them near me
Though my brothers' crazy antics could make anyone weary
I won't get sucked into their chaos theory
As long as they don't...
(gasps) But today I'm not worried about any of that noise
Today it doesn't even matter what those silly old boys
Are doin'
It's such a beautiful day
(It's really such a beautiful day)
It's such a beautiful day
(It's really such a beauti...) Wait a minute...
Trivia[]
This song was actually the last to be written for the film. Initially, the film was going to open with yet another futile attempt by Candace to bust her brothers, but, since Candace was supposed to be the main protagonist of the film, it made her look too mean. So Dan Povenmire wrote this song with his old college friend, Karey Kirkpatrick (Something Rotten!).
It was Kirkpatrick's idea for the song to switch genres when Candace begins complaining about her brothers.
Candace makes numerous allusions to various past episodes throughout the song (specifically towards the end of it).
