I have appointed me
The captain of my destiny
And proclaimed myself
The pilot of my soul
But my mind remains uneasy
Cause the rest of me
Depends on someone
I don't even know
May the man who has his finger on the button
Have a lovely day today
Hope nothing hangs him up or ticks him off
Or bums him out in any way
Lord, help him keep his cool
Cause he could pull
The final curtain on my play
May the man who has his finger on the button
Have a lovely day today
I can recall when only God
Could start the world anew
He who left his babies
Wasted on the shore
But now that man could have the last word
If he wanted to
God ain't such a bad dude anymore
May the man who has his finger on the button
Have a lovely night tonight
Hope he's got himself a honey
Who knows what to do
And I hope she does it right
And in my heart I know
You won't go bananas
And again he might
May the man who has his finger on the button
Have a lovely night tonight
May the man who has his finger on the button
Have a lovely day today
Hope nothing hangs him up or ticks him off
Or bums him out in any way
Lord, help him keep his cool
Cause he could pull
The final curtain on our play
May the man who has his finger on the button
Have a lovely day today
Send him over anything he wants
Give him a sixpack of beer
Give him my old lady
My girlfriend
