Verse:

Wishing is good time wasted, Still it's a habit they say;

Wishing for sweets I've tasted, That's all I do all day.

Maybe there's nothing in wishing, But, speaking of wishing I'll say:

 

Chorus:

Nothing could be finer than to be in Carolina in the morning,

Noone 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 pearlly early in the morning,

Butterflies all flutter up and kiss each little buttercup at dawning,

If I had A-lad din'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.
