CAROLINA IN THE MORNING
lyrics Gus Kahn 1886-1941
music Walter Donaldson 1893-1947

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

Where the morning 
glories twine around the door
Whispering pretty stories 
I long to hear once more
Strolling with my girlie 
where the dew is pearly 
early in the morning

Butterflies all flutter up 
and kiss each 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

Where the morning glories 
twine around the door
Whispering pretty stories 
I long to hear once more
Strolling with my girlie 
where the dew is pearly 
early in the morning

Butterflies all flutter up 
and kiss each 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
