Oh it's a great great mornin'
Your first day in heaven
When you're strollin' down
the golden avenue
There are mansions
left and right
And you're thrilled
at every sight
And the saints are
always smilin' sayin'
How do you do
Oh it's a great great mornin'
Your first day in heaven
When you realize your
worryin' days are through
You'll be glad you were
not idle took time
to read the bible
It's a great mornin' for you
I had a dream and I confess
I hated to awake
I dreamt that I was an angel
At the great pearly gate
Saint Peter said
Why hello there
Where have you been
I've got your mansion ready
So come right in
And then he rang for an angel
to act as a guide
I spread my wings
a time or two
To learn how to fly
Oh it's a great great mornin'
your first day in heaven
When you're strollin' down
the golden avenue
There are mansions
left and right
And you're thrilled
at every sight
And the saints are
always smilin' sayin'
How do you do
Oh it's a great great mornin'
your first day in heaven
When you realize your
worryin' days are through
You'll be glad you were
not idle took time
to read the bible
It's a great mornin'
A great mornin'
What a happy day
