Lyrics
Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm
Here we are together
I've loved you from afar
I've stayed up dreaming all night long
One day, you would have my heart
One day, she would have your heart
Good morning, good morning
Been up the whole night through
Good morning, good morning to you
Good morning, good morning
It's great to stay up late
Good morning, good morning to you
When the inmates began to sleep
The stars were shining bright
Now the warden's on his way
It's too late to say goodnight
So good morning, good morning
Your problem soon smiles through
Good morning, good morning to you
Good morning, morning
Good morning, good morning
Good morning, good morning
Bang-bang, you're black and blue
Good morning, good morning to you
(Nothin' could be grander than to be in Louisiana)
In the morning, in the morning
You're back behind the gate, good morning
Good morning to you
(It might be just a zippy if you was in Mississippi)
When we left the movie show, the future wasn't bright
But came the dawn the show goes on, and I don't wanna say, "Good night"
So say, "Good morning, good morning"
Rainbows are shinin' through
Good mornin', good mornin' to you
Oh, good mornin', good mornin' to you (to you)
