T’morra’ is that better day,
With rainbows in the sky.
That’s the picture people like to paint.
But while I seek that better day,
The years keep flyin’ by;
And lots of things that should be happening’, ain’t!

‘Till finally there comes this revelation:
T’morra’ is the curse of civilization.

T’morra’, t’morra’, livin’ for t’morra’,
Why is t’morra’ better than today?
T’morra’, t’morra’, lookin’ for t’morra’,
My Aunt became a spinster that way.

Lyric excerpt: “T’morra’, T’morra'”
Words by Yip Harburg – Music by Harold Arlen
From Bloomer Girl (1944)
