full lyrics:


I've done mornings

from Manhattan to West Hollywood

champagne brunch

to breakfast served in bed

coffee French-pressed ooh-la-la

Eggs Benedict whooped-ee-doo-da

with company as cuckoo as the spread

but if tomorrow's movie's mine to make

I'd sure like to have wild birds

sing me awake


I've heard the blare of bugles

soundin' reveille

I'll trade it for the Blue Jay's

sharp "Whee-dee-le-lee"

I know the grind of gettin' up

to a city radio show

gimme instead that "Caw" of Mr. Crow


the scent of sizzlin' butter

fresh smell of ocean breeze

can curl a smile without battin' an eye

but comparin' to a pair of sparrow singin'

nothin' makes me wanna seize the day

like their shrill sun-up cry


in their harmony

I hear no hint of hurry

more like "take your time

the weather's fine, don't worry"

yeah it comforts me

how casual they call

sunrise serenade of "Another day, that's all"


who is that rappin'

at my chamber door

if I must rise to a rat-a-tat-tat

prefer a woodpecker for sure

his in-vain peckin's work I can relate

but that rappin' raven's

gonna have to wait


sometimes it's been the soft

rustle of drapes

pitter-pat of sobered footsteps

as a soiled dove escapes

I've felt a touch as gentle

as with it a velvet voice

but I'll take the call of cardinals

if I have a choice


so long there's wind

there's always rainclouds comin'

La Madame's not one waits

til afternoon

but rather than thunder

to warn and summon

I prefer that haunting wail

of Mother Loon


sometimes it's my own thoughts

that done the deed

nightmares declinin'

to check out at dawn

but I've learned the antidote

only need to hear one note

from a robin red breast

dancin' on my lawn


in their harmony

I hear no hint of hurry

more like "take your time

the weather's fine, don't worry"

yeah it comforts me

how casual they call

sunrise serenade

of "Another day, that's all"

that sunrise serenade

of "Another day, that's all"
