In the Morning
Tom-Oh Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Got no diamonds, got no pearls
Still I think I'm a lucky girl
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 cheque books, got no banks
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

Got no butler, got no maid
Still I think I've been overpaid
I got the sun in the morning
And the moon at night

She's got the sun in the morning
And the moon at night

Got no silver, got no gold
What I've got can't be bought or sold
I got the sun in the morning
And the moon at night

She's 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 heirlooms for my kin
Made no will but when I cash in
I'll leave the sun in the morning
And the moon at night

She'll leave 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 alright

Hoe down

Woo-hoo
Come on girls
That's it
Yee-ha
Yee-hoo
Yee-hoo

Got no mansion, got no yacht
Still I'm happy with what I got
I got the sun in the morning
And the moon at night

Sun in the morning
And moon at night

And with the sun in the morning
And the moon in the evening
We'll be alright





Sun in the morning
And moon at night
