It's a fine day
People open windows
They leave their houses
Just for a short while
It's a fine day
People open windows
They leave their houses
Just for a short while

[Refrain]
It's going to be a fine night tonight
It's going to be a fine day tomorrow
It's going to be a fine night tonight
It's going to be a fine day tomorrow
La la la la la

[Verse 2]
It's a fine day
People open windows
They leave their houses
Just for a short while
They walk by the grass (they walk by the grass)
They look at the sky (the sky, the sky, the sky)
They walk by the grass
And they look at the grass
They look at the sky (the sky, the sky, the sky)
[Refrain]
It's going to be a fine night tonight
It's going to be a fine day tomorrow
It's going to be a fine night tonight
It's going to be a fine day tomorrow
La la la la la
Lee, la la la

La, la la la
La la la la la
Lee, la la la
La la la la la
La, la la la

Look at the sky
La la la la la la la la
Look at the sky
Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight

It's going to be a fine day tomorrow
It's going to be a fine night tonight
It's going to be a fine day tomorrow
It's going to be a fine night tonight

Genius Annotation

‘It’s A Fine Day’ was originally a song written by English poet and musician Edward Barton, and recorded a cappella by Jane Lancaster, his girlfriend, in 1983. Almost a decade later, in 1992, the English electronica group Opus III covered this song, using only the lyrics from the first verse and chorus of the original (explains why the lyrics are so repetitive), and adding in electronic instrumentation and a dance beat. Opus III’s cover was the version that became an international hit, charting in 14 countries. Most notably, it peaked at #5 on the UK Singles chart and #1 on the US Hot Dance Club Play Chart.

Opus III vocalist Kirsty Hawkshaw remade this song in 2002 with German DJ Mike Koglin and in 2008 with British electronica artist Kinky Roland.

The la-la-la singing parts were sampled and backtracked in Orbital’s ‘Halcyon + On + On’ [1993].
