Lyrics:

Chorus
Well it's a great, great morning
Your first day in Heaven
When you stroll down the golden avenue
There are mansions left and right
And you're thrilled at every sight
And the saints are always smiling saying 'How do you do?'
Oh it's a great, great morning
You're first day in Heaven
When you realize your worrying day are through
You'll be glad you were not idle
Took time to read your bible
It's a great morning for you
I had a dream, I must confess, I hated to awake
He dreamt he was an angel at the great pearly gates
Saint Peter said 'Well hello there, where have you been?
We've got your mansion ready so come right in.'
And then he ranged for an angel to act as a guide
He spread his wings a time or two and then let me fly
Repeat Chorus
Well it's a great, great morning
Your first day in Heaven
When you're strolling down the golden avenue
There are mansions left and right
And you're thrilled at every sight
And the saints are always smiling saying 'How do you do?'
Oh it's a great, great morning
You're first day in Heaven
When you realize your worrying day are through
You'll be glad you were not idle
Took time to read your bible
It's a great morning
A great morning
What a happy day
