(scat)
I get to bed about half past three,
And that's not supposed to be so good for me,
Still I wake up in the mornin' feelin' fine.
I never bother with a coffee blend,
The blend all the famous doctors recommend,
Still I wake up in the mornin' feelin' fine.
It must be 'cause you kiss me goodnight every night,
Next day I rise king-size with my eyes ashine,
Healthier than Hercules!

I haven't got one o' those blankets with the wires inside,
I like my potatoes and I like 'em fried,
Still I wake up in the mornin' feelin' fine, doodle-oo-doo,
Feelin' fine, doodle-oo-doo-doo, since you're mine!

I get to bed way past three,
Now that's not supposed to be so very good for me,
But I wake up feelin' fine.
I never dream a big long list
Of  nightmares to tell to my psychiatrist,
Still I wake up in the mornin' feelin' fine.
Baby, it must be 'cause you kiss me goodnight every night,
Next day I rise king-size with my eyes ashine,
Superior to Superman!

I never rub goose grease on my skin,
I open up the window and let the smog roll in,
Still I wake up in the mornin' feelin' fine,
Feelin' fine, baby, since I know that you are mine!
