It's a beautiful mornin', ah I think I'll go outside a while And just smile Just take in some clean fresh air, boy! Ain't no sense in stayin' inside If the weather's fine, and you got the time It's your chance to wake up and plan another brand new day Either way It's a beautiful mornin', ah Each bird keeps singin' his own song So long! I've got to be on my way now Ain't no fun just hangin' around I've got to cover ground; you couldn't keep me down It just ain't no good if the sun shines When you're still inside Shouldn't hide, still inside, shouldn't hide Ah, oh! (Shouldn't hide) Ah, ah, oh (Doo, doo-wa) (Doo, doo-wa) There will be children with robins and flowers Sunshine caresses each new waking hour Seems to me that the people keep seeing More and more each day; gotta say, lead the way It's okay, Wednesday, Thursday, it's okay (Ah) Monday, Wednesday, Friday, weekday, ah, ah, oh (Doo, doo-wa) Ah, ah, oh, oh (do, doo-wa) Woo, ooo, ooo, oh, oh, oh, ah, woo, doo-wa Oh, oh, oh, oh
