Good Morning
We've talked the whole night through
Good Morning
Good Morning to you
Good Morning
Good Morning
It's great to stay up late
Good Morning to you
When the band began to play the stars were shinging bright
Now the milkman's on his way and it's too late to say good night
So, Good Morning
Good Morning
Sun beams will soon smile through
Good Morning
Good Morning to you and you and you and you
Good Morning
Good Morning
We've gabbed the whole night through
Good Morning
Good Morning to you
In the morning
In the morning
It's great to stay up late
Good Morning
Good Morning to you
When we left the movie show the future wasn't bright
But came the dawn
the show goes on and I don't want to say good night
So say good morning
Good Morning
Rainbows are shining through
Good Morning
Good Morning
Bonjour
Monsuier
Bonas Dies
Bunus Greas
Bonjourrrraaaaa
Artichonnnaaaa
Good Morgan
Licha Moana
Good Morning to you
The song "Good Morning" is a cheerful and energetic duet sung by three characters in the musical film "Singin' in the Rain" namely, Don (Gene Kelly), Cosmo (Donald O'Connor), and Kathy (Debbie Reynolds). The song is a happy and almost frenzied celebration of the morning after the trio has spent all night rehearsing for a new show. The song begins with Don and Cosmo's cheerful greeting of "Good Morning" as they inform Kathy that they have been up all night. They continue to sing about the joys of staying up all night and celebrating the new day.
The lyrics also convey the idea of not wanting the night to end and instead opting for more and more celebration. The imagery of the "stars shining bright" suggests that the trio has been up all night partying and that they do not want the festivities to end with the morning's arrival. As the chorus repeats "Good Morning" into a frenzy, they welcome the dawn as if it is just another reason to keep going. Despite the tough night before, they seem invigorated by the prospect of a new day.
Overall, the song works as a homage to the joys of staying up late and celebrating life, as well as the optimistic prospect of a new day to start something new. The upbeat and frenzied tune and lyrics make for a cheerful way to start anyone's morning.

This movie has THE best dance sequences I have ever seen. So crisp, synchronized, and catchy. An instant classic I’ve enjoyed since I was 5.
@princessthyemis
ME TOO!! my mom sang this to me when I was little! I actually had no idea it was a real song until today! I thought my mom invented it!
@ILuvAyeAye
Awww, I was just commenting the same thing! My mom would say “we slept the whole night through” instead hah.
@shanisafan
Watch the Nicholas Brothers choreography in Stormy Weather. You will be amazed by the dance moves in that clip.
@mimidavis9534

My Nanna used to sing this to me every morning when she woke me up. Now I sing it to my son. I used to watch Singing in the Rain on her VCR all the time. Great memories.
