Good morning starshine, the earth says "Hello"

You twinkle above us, We twinkle below

Good morning starshine, you lead us along

My love and me as we sing our early morning singing song

Gliddy glup gloopy nibby nabby nooby la la la lo lo

Sabba sibby sabba nooby abba nabba le le lo lo

Tooby ooby walla nooby abba nabba

Early morning singing song

Good morning starshine, the earth says "Hello"

You twinkle above us, We twinkle below

Good morning starshine, You lead us along

My love and me as we sing our early morning singing song

Gliddy glup gloopy nibby nabby nooby la la la lo lo

Sabba sibby sabba nooby abba nabba le le lo lo

Tooby ooby walla nooby abba nabba

Early morning singing song

Singing a song, humming a song, singing a song

Loving a song, laughing a song, sing the song

Sing the song, song the sing

Song, song, song, sing, sing, sing, sing song
