Lyrics to Carolina in the Morning
Music by Walter Donaldson, lyrics by Gus Kahn (1922). Introduced and recorded by William Frawley, best known for his role as Fred Mertz on I Love Lucy—where he performed the song in the episodes Ricky Loses His Voice and Lucy’s Show Biz Swan Song.
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 little 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!
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 little 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
Carolina in the morning!
