Dan:
It's gonna be good. [Good good good]
It's gonna be good. [Good good good]
It's gonna be good! [G-O-O-D good!]
It's gonna be good! [Ah-ha!]
It's gonna be good. [Mhm]
Two weeks and it's all working
Just the way I knew it would-
And I don't sit at work
Just waiting for the phone to ring!
Dan & Voices:
It's a good good good good thing.
Dan:
It's gonna be great! [ It's gonna be great!]
It's gonna be great. [ Fucking great.]
The sex is still amazing,
And we don't stay up that late.
It's almost been a month
And she's as happy as a clam. [ Happy as a clam.]
Do I look great? I am.
Natalie! and this must be Henry! A pleasure
to finally meet you. Come in. Why don't you
join us for dinner?
Natalie:
Um, Dad, Henry can't really stay. He's got, um...
Dan:
It's gonna be good!
Natalie:
...homework!
Dan:
It's gonna be good.
Natalie:
Surgery.
Dan:
Gonna sit right down together
Like a happy fam'ly should.
Natalie:
Rabies.
Dan:
And eat and talk
And laugh and joke,
My pride, my brood, and me
It's gonna be good,
You'll see.
Dan & Gabe:
We'll smile and chat
And just like that
We'll all be all okay.
It's gonna be great,
It's gonna be great
Dan, Gabe, Henry & Natalie:
It's gonna be gonna be
Gonna be great
That way...
Hey!
It's gonna be good!
It's gonna be good.
Gonna sit right down together
Like a happy fam'ly should.
And eat and talk
And laugh and joke,
My family and me
It's gonna be good
Gonna be good
Gonna be gonna be
Gonna be gonna be
Gonna be
Good good good good
Good good good good
Good good good good
Gonna be good
Gonna be good
It's gonna be good you'll see.
