SUNRISE SERENADE
Jack Lawrence (l), Frankie Carle (m) - 1939

Glen Gray, Casa Loma Orchestra  - 1939


Good mornin'
Good mornin'
You sleepyhead
It's dawnin'

Stop yawnin'
Get out of that bed
Say the air is soft as silk
It's time to get the mornin' milk

Come on!
Wake up!
Get up!
Look at the grass

Silver in the sun
Heavy with the dew
Look at the buds
You can almost see

How they're breakin' through
Look at the birds
Feedin' all their young
In the sycamores

But you better get on
With your mornin' chores
Just take a breath
Of that new-mown hay

And the sugarcane
Looks like tonight
There should be a moon
Down in lovers' lane

There you go daydreaming
When it's time that you obeyed
That sunrise serenade
