Taking stock of what I have and what I haven't What do I find? The things I got will keep me satisfied Checking up on what I have and what I haven't What do I find? A healthy balance on the credit side Got no diamonds, got no pearls Still I think I'm a lucky girl I've got the sun in the morning and the moon at night Got no mansion, got no yacht Still I'm happy with what I've got I've got the sun in the morning and the moon at night Sunshine gives me a lovely day Moonlight gives me the Milky Way Got no cheque books, got no banks Still I'd like to express my thanks I've got the sun in the morning and the moon at night And with the sun in the morning and the moon in the evening I'm all right De-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo De-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo Sunshine gives me a lovely day Moonlight gives me the Milky Way Got no cheque books, got no banks Still I'd like to express my thanks I've got the sun in the morning and the moon at night And with the sun in the morning, moon in the evening I'm doing all right Doing all right Doing all right I'm doing all right
