I Got the Sun in the Morning
Les Brown
Words and music by Irving Berlin.
Introduced by Ethel Merman in the musical `Annie Get Your gun.`
Sung by Betty Hutton in the 1950 film version.
(verse)
Taking stock of what I have and what I haven`t,
What do I find?
The things I`ve got will keep me satisfied.
Checking up on what I have and what I haven`t
What do I find?
A healthy balance on the credit side.
(chorus)
Got no mansion, got no yacht,
Still I`m happy with what I`ve got;
I`ve got the sun in the morning and the moon at night.
(I`ve got the sun in the morning and the moon at night.)
Got no silver, got no gold,
What I`ve got can`t be bought or sold;
I`ve got the sun in the morning and the moon at night.
(I`ve got the sun in the morning and the moon at night.)
Sunshine gives me a lovely day.
Moonlight gives me the Milky Way.
Got no checkbooks, got no banks,
Still I`d like to express my thanks;
I`ve got the sun in the morning and the moon at night.
(I`ve got the sun in the morning and the moon at night.)
And with the sun in the morning and the moon in the evening,
Why I`m all right!
From: Gloria `Montcomags`
