Episode lyrics

Susie Stevens

Day by day

Day by day

Oh Dear Lord

Three things I pray

To see thee more clearly

Love thee more dearly

Follow thee more nearly

Day by day

Day by day

Day by day

Day by day, day by day

Homer Simpson

Homer Simpson:

The deacon's job is pretty okay

Pretty okay

I'm going to be a deacon, day by day

I'm already a deacon, day by day

Credits Lyrics

Homer Simpson:

Day by day, day by day

I've got three kids

And two are okay

Two are okay

One of them is the baby

The smart one is mine maybe

I hope the boy gets rabies

Day by day, by day

Day by day

Oh, I pray

Day by day, by day

By day.
