The Beatles - Good Day Sunshine
Copyright - 1966 EMI Records Ltd.
"Good Day Sunshine" is a song by The Beatles on the 1966 album Revolver. It was written by Paul McCartney, though like all songs written by either of them, it is credited as Lennon/McCartney.
McCartney and Ringo Starr are the only members of the band to appear on this track instrumentally. John Lennon and George Harrison add harmony vocals during the choruses. George Martin played the solo on the piano.[citation needed]
McCartney's bass provides the opening line before Starr enters with a drum roll.
There is a phrase hidden in the song, just after Paul McCartney sings the line, "she feels good." Ringo can be heard very softly in the right channel. While it is not clear what he is saying, some Beatles enthusiasts say that he responds to McCartney's line, saying "she f****** does."
Influences
McCartney said that he was influenced by The Lovin' Spoonful in writing this song, whose bouncy harmonies and upbeat lyrics recall the Spoonful's "good-time music."

Good day sunshine, good day sunshine,
Good day sunshine.
I need to laugh, and when the sun is out,
I've got something I can laugh about.
I feel good in a special way,
I'm in love, and it's sunny day.
Good day sunshine, good day sunshine,
Good day sunshine.
We take a walk, the sun is shining down,
Burns my feet as they touch the ground,
Good day sunshine, good day sunshine,
Good day sunshine.
And then we lie beneath a shady tree,
I love her and she's loving me.
She feels good, she knows she's looking fine,
I'm so proud to know that she is mine.
Good day sunshine, good day sunshine,
Good day sunshine.
Good day sunshine, good day sunshine.
