lyrics
Good morning to the morning
Good morning to the sun up in the sky
Good morning to the people passing by
Good morning to the morning
Good morning to the yellow
Good morning to the green and red and blue
Good morning to you and you and you
Good morning to the morning
It’s such a glorious day
Nothing’s getting in our way
We’ll greet the day with a grin
Let’s begin (Let’s begin)
I’m feeling good, feeling great
And I simply can’t wait to say…
Good day!
Good morning to the morning
I’m gonna sing and dance and jump and jive
And thank my lucky stars that I’m alive
Good morning to the morning
Good morning to the sunshine
I’m gonna laugh my worries all away
No other day will be quite like today
Good morning to the morning
Can’t you hear that beat in your head?
Get your bottom out of bed!
A brass band’s beginning to blow
Hello (hello) (hello)
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo-wah,
Doo, doo-wah, doo, doo-wah,
Doo-wah…
And if it looks like the clouds may start calling
And if the raindrops or snowflakes start falling
It’s still a glorious day in it’s own special way, okay?
Okay?
Okay!!
Good morning to the morning
Today will be a music jubilee
Can't wait to sing a song with melody
She's always bright and bubbly
Good morning to the morning
Good morning to the day all bright and new
Good thing I’m gonna spend it all with you
I can’t think of a better thing to do then say…
Good morning to the morning
Good morning to the morning
Good morning to the day!
