Good Morning
Debbie Reynolds feat. Gene Kelly & Donald O 'Conner Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Good mornin'
Good mornin'
We've talked the whole night through
Good mornin'
Good mornin' to you

Good mornin'
Good mornin'
It's great to stay up late
Good mornin'
Good mornin' to you

When the band began to play
The stars were shinin' bright.
Now the milkman's on his way,
It's too late to say goodnight.

So, good mornin', good mornin'! Sunbeams will soon smile through,
Good mornin', good mornin', to you, and you, and you, and you!

Good mornin', good mornin'!
We've gabbed the whole night through,
Good mornin', good mornin' to you.

Nothin' could be grander than to be in lousianna

In the mornin', in the mornin'!
It's great to stay up late!
Good mornin', good mornin' to you!

Might be just as zippy if we 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 mornin'!
Good mornin'!
Rainbows are shinin' through
Good mornin'!
Bonjour!
Buenos dias!
Bongiorno




Guten Morgen!
Good mornin' to you!

We all gonna sleep on the fact Debbie Reynolds did a tap dance number on the stairs in freaking heels ?!

@b0ajvk8

Especially since she had never tapped before this movie. Then holds her own with not one but two legends. Wow.

@bobmendoza2450

Ikr? It was dope

@materialgirl8707

Just like what Madonna said or sang in Vogue, dancers back in those days like Kelly, Rogers, Astaire and the beautiful Miss Debbie Reynolds DANCED ON AIR!!

@satanmann8023

Ok, now I have a lot of respect for Debbie Reynolds

@camillepelletier1975

@CoconutMigrationCommittee

the fact that debbie was a teenager who had never really danced before this movie absolutely amazes me

@lancedukel3436

@kittycattt93
