Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Du, du, du, du, du, du, du
Du, lu, lu, du, lu, lu

Yap-ta-pi-pi-pa, pa-ye-bu-bu-ba
Lu, lu, lu, woo, woo, woo

I'm not a millionaire, but I haven't got a time to care
Got no future, got no plan

Still I guess I'm a lucky man

I've got the sun in the morning
And the moon at night
Well, I'm alright!

Got no mansion, got no yacht
Still I'm happy with what I got
I've got the sun in the morning
And the moon at night
Du, du, du, du, du

Sunshine gives me a lovely day
Moonlight gives me the Milky Way, yeah

No checkbooks, no banks
I wanna express my thanks
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, hey
And I'm alright!

I've got the sun in the morning

And the moon in the evening
And I know, that everything's alright
