Day In, Day Out

For the Feeder song, see Day in Day Out. For the David Bowie song, see Day-In Day-Out.

"Day In, Day Out" is a popular song with music by Rube Bloom and lyrics by Johnny Mercer and published in 1939.[1]

According to Alec Wilder the song, 56 measures long, has a wonderful, soaring melodic line, free from pretentiousness, but full of passion and intensity which is superbly supported by the lyrics.[2] Although the catch phrase "day in—day out" sounds like a dull routine, Mercer uses exotic images to contrast with the boring sound of the phrase.[1]

Recordings

The song has been recorded by numerous artists.[3]
