Good morning blues, blues how do you do
Babe, I feel alright but I come to worry you
Baby, it's Christmas time and I wanna see Santa Claus
Baby, it's Christmas time and I wanna see Santa Claus
Don't show me my pretty baby, I'll break all of the laws
Santa Claus, Santa Claus, listen to my plea
Santa Claus, Santa Claus, listen to my plea
Don't send me nothing for Christmas but my baby back to
Me
The song Good Morning Blues by Lennie Hayton and His Orchestra is a blues song that talks about the morning blues and wanting to see Santa Claus during Christmas to ask for a special gift. The lyrics of the song start with "Good morning blues, blues how do you do" which creates a sense of sadness or lethargy. The main character says that they feel alright but still "worry" the other person (possibly a lover).
The song then takes a turn towards the holiday season, mentioning Christmas time and wanting to see Santa Claus. However, the singer begs Santa to not send them any presents but instead bring their lover back to them. The final line of the song, "Don’t send me nothing for Christmas but my baby back to Me" emphasizes the importance of love and companionship over material things.
The song is a poignant reminder of the importance of love and companionship during the holiday season. It emphasizes the fact that while gifts are nice, they cannot replace the love and companionship of someone special. The song's lyrics also reaffirm the power of the blues as a musical genre that speaks to universal human emotions.

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.

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.
