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

Got no mansion, got no yacht
Still I'm happy with what I got
I've got the sun in the morning

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

Trombonology Erstwhile
This Berlin tune didn't make it into either Paramount's White Christmas or Wise Guy , a shelved Broadway musical project. Fortunately, though, The Master got his hands on the fetching number. The great Louis deserved far more piles of bills to count.
