Mornin' Mr. Radio
Mornin' little Cheerios
Mornin' sister Oriole
Did I tell you everything is fine
In my mind
Mornin' Mr. Shoeshine man
Shine 'em bright in white and tan
My baby said she loves me and
Need I tell you that
Everything here is just fine
(In)
In my mind
Excuse me if I sing
My heart has found its wings, ohh yes
Searchin' high and low
And now at last I know
Mornin' Mr. Golden Gate
I should walk but I can't wait
I can't wait to set it straight
I was shakin' but now I am
Makin' it fine
Here in my mind
My heart will soar
With love that's rare and real
My smiling face will feel every cloud
Then higher still
Beyond the blue until
I know I can
Like any man
Reach out my hand
And touch the face of God
Excuse me if I sing
My heart has found its wings
Searchin' high and low
And now at last I know
Mornin' Mr. Radio
Mornin' little Cheerios
Mornin' sister Oriole
Did I tell you that everything is fine
Ooh in my mind?
So, won't you get up Oriole
So, won't you get up Cheerios
Wake up Mr. Radio
[Incomprehensible] it's fine
Here in my mind
Singin' about mornin' little radio
