I Got the Sun in the Morning - Peggy Lee, Helen O'Connell, Nat King Cole

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

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

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!
