Oh, sometimes I get a good feeling, yeah
I get a feeling that I never never never never had before, no no
I get a good feeling, yeah
Oh, sometimes I get a good feeling, yeah
I get a feeling that I never never never never had before, no no
I get a good feeling, yeah
Yes I can, doubt that I leave, I'm running with this plan
Pull me, grab me, crabs in the bucket can't have me
I'll be the president one day
January first, oh, you like that gossip
Like you the one drinking that God sip dot com
Now I gotta work with your tongue
How many rolling stones you want
Yeah I got a brand new spirit,
Speak it and it's done
Woke up on the side of the bed like I won
Talk like a winner, my chest to that sub
G5 dealer, US to Taiwan
I hope you say that, I wanna play back
Mama knew I was a needle in a hay stack
A Bugatti boy, plus Maybach
I got a feeling it's a wrap ASAP
Oh, sometimes I get a good feeling, yeah
I get a feeling that I never never never never had before, no no
I get a good feeling, yeah
Oh, sometimes I get a good feeling, yeah
I get a feeling that I never never never never had before, no no
I get a good feeling, yeah
The mountain top, walk on water
I got power, feel so royal
One second, I'ma strike oil
Diamond, platinum, no more you
Gotta drill a land, never giving in
Giving up's not an option, gotta get it in
Witness I got a heart of 20 men
No fear go to sleep in the lion's den
That flow, that funk that crown
You looking at the king of the jungle now
Stronger ever can't hold me down
A hundred miles going from the picture smile
Straight game face, it's game day
See me running through the crowd full of melee
No trick plays, I'm Bill Gates, take a genius to understand me
Oh, sometimes I get a good feeling, yeah
I get a feeling that I never never never never had before, no no
I get a good feeling, yeah
Oh, sometimes I get a good feeling, yeah
I get a feeling that I never never never never had before, no no
I get a good feeling, yeah
Look at the lights that now are shining my name
You know you know you gonna feel the same
'Cause we are here now, is about to go down
I think tonight we gonna party for days
Put up your drinks when I come down
Tonight we gonna run this town
Maybe feel like I'm wearing a crown
Make the love like there's no one around
And I know you wanna have it
Come on up here and grab it
I gotta feeling that your life's gonna change
Oh, sometimes I get a good feeling, yeah
I get a feeling that I never never never never had before, no no
I get a good feeling, yeah
Oh, sometimes I get a good feeling, yeah
I get a feeling that I never never never never had before, no no

This past Saturday night was the grocery foundation's annual fundraising gala, Night to Nurture, in Toronto. There was a bit of a pall over the crowd - this was a room full of Canada's top food producers and sellers, and as this was also the day that Trump to the south announced a 25% tariff against all Canadian exports to the US, this was a room full of executives uncertain about the future. I don't generally have a lot of fun at this event anyway (I'm just not a small talk with customers and their wives smiling-Betty-Draper-type), but this year I was seriously annoyed that the headliner was Flo Rida - an American - and I was determined to not enjoy myself.
However, dinner was fine and the conversation was fine. The event was hosted by Rick Mercer and he kept the mood light and nonpolitical (other than thanking the young Indian singer in a sari for her beautiful rendition of O Canada and stating that that song isn't going anywhere; a hundred years from now people will still be singing our anthem in that room), and when Flo Rida and his group began to perform, there was so much energy and life injected into the crowd that I didn't resist too hard when some women on Dave's team pulled at me to get up and dance with them. And after bouncing and waving along in the crowd to more Flo Rida songs than I thought I knew, I followed along when he called the ladies up front onto stage. I'm up in that picture there, having a pretty good time despite myself, and I left happy that the performer was Flo Rida: he was great and a perfect reminder that not all Americans are threatening to annex us.
And now I'm back to worrying about that, but it's good to also remember that oh, sometimes I get a good feeling, yeah.
