Nothing could be finer than to be in Carolina In the morning No one could be sweeter than my sweetie when I meet her In the morning, When a morning glory Went around the door Whispering pretty stories I long to hear once more. Rolling with my girly where the dew is pearly early In the morning. Butterflies all flutter up and kiss each little buttercup At dawning. If I had Aladdin's lamp for only a day I'd make a wish and here's what I'd say: Nothing could be finer than to be in Carolina In the morning! When a morning glory Wind around the door Whispering pretty stories I long to hear once more. Rolling with my girly where the dew is pearly early In the morning. Butterflies all flutter up and kiss each little buttercup At dawning. If I had Aladdin's lamp only a day I'd make a wish and here's what I'd say: Nothing could be finer than to be in Carolina In the morning.
