...Warning! Today's forecast calls for blue skies...


Sun is shinin' in the sky
There ain't a cloud in sight
It's stopped rainin'
Everybody's in a play
And don't you know
It's a beautiful new day


Runnin' down the avenue
See how the sun shines brightly
In the city on the streets
Where once was pity
Mr. Blue Sky is living here today


Mr. Blue Sky, please tell us why
You had to hide away
For so long (so long) where did we go wrong
Mr. Blue Sky, please tell us why
You had to hide away
For so long (so long) where did we go wrong


Hey you with the pretty face
Welcome to the human race
A celebration Mr. Blue Sky's
Up there waitin' and today
Is the day we've waited for


Mr. Blue Sky, please tell us why
You had to hide away
For so long (so long) where did we go wrong


Hey there Mr. Blue
We're so pleased to be with you
Look around see what you do
Everybody smiles at you
Hey there Mr. Blue
We're so pleased to be with you
Look around see what you do
Everybody smiles at you


Mr. Blue Sky, Mr. Blue Sky, Mr. Blue Sky


Mr. Blue you did it right
But soon comes Mr. Night
Creepin' over, now his
Hand is on your shoulder
Never mind I'll remember you this
I'll remember you this way


Mr. Blue Sky, please tell us why
You had to hide away
For so long (so long) 
where did we go wrong


Hey there Mr. Blue 
(Sky)
We're so pleased to be with you 
(Sky)
Look around see what you do 
(Blue)
Everybody smiles at you
