Oh, What A Beautiful Morning
There’s a bright golden haze on the meadow,
There’s a bright golden haze on the meadow,
The corn is as high as an elephants eye,
An’ it looks like it’s climbing clear up in the sky.
Oh, what a beautiful mornin’,
Oh, what a beautiful day.
I got a beautiful feelin’
Everything’s goin’ my way.
