Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
I may not sleep all night
But I’ll be all right in the morning
I’ll get right up and shout
When the sun comes out in the morning
It won’t be long till the clock strikes eight
But just the same I can hardly wait
Those wedding bells will chime
Around breakfast time in the morning
A happy “ding dong ding”
Will begin to sing as a warning
I’ve got the ring and she’ll have a bouquet
And everything is bound to be okay
With Malinda early in the morning
Sung here by Laurence Rubenstein:
