I Got The Sun In The Morning
The Rat Pack Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I got no diamond though I'm shy
Still I think I'm a lucky guy
I got the sun in the morning and the moon at night
Got no mansion got no yacht
Still I'm happy with what I've got
I got the sun in the morning and the moon at night
Sunshine gives me a lovely day
Moonlight gives me the milky way
Got no checkbook got no bank
Still I'd like to express my thanks
I got the sun in the morning and the moon at night
And with the sun in the morning and the moon in the evening
I'm all right
I got no diamonds? though I'm shy
Still I think I'm a lucky guy
I got the sun in the morning and the moon at night
Got no mansion go no yacht
Still I'm happy with what I've got
I got the sun in the morning and the moon at night
Sunshine gives me a lovely day
Moonlight gives me the milky way
Got no checkbook got no bank
Still I'd like to express my thanks
I got the sun in the morning and the moon at night




And with the sun in the morning and the moon in the evening
I'm all right
