Good morning, good morning
Good morning, good morning
Good morning ah
Nothing to do to save his life call his wife in
Nothing to say but what a day how’s your boy been
Nothing to do it’s up to you
I’ve got nothing to say but it’s OK
Good morning, good morning
Good morning ah
Going to work don’t want to go feeling low down
Heading for home you start to roam then you’re in town
Everybody knows there’s nothing doing
Everything is closed it’s like a ruin
Everyone you see is half asleep
And you’re on your own you’re in the street
After a while you start to smile now you feel cool
Then you decide to take a walk by the old school
Nothing is changed it’s still the same
I’ve got nothing to say but it’s OK
Good morning, good morning
Good morning ah
People running round it’s five o’clock
Everywhere in town is getting dark
Everyone you see is full of life
It’s time for tea and meet the wife
Somebody needs to know the time, glad that I’m here
Watching the skirts you start to flirt now you’re in gear
Go to a show you hope she goes
I’ve got nothing to say but it’s OK
Good morning, good morning, good
Good morning, good morning, good
Good morning, good morning, good
Good morning, good morning, good
Good morning, good morning, good
Good morning, good morning, good
Good morning, good morning, good
Good morning, good morning, good
Good morning, good morning, good
Good morning, good morning, good
Everyday Life in Song
“Good Morning, Good Morning” by The Beatles captures the repetitive and sometimes mundane rhythm of daily life. The song’s lyrics paint vivid snapshots of ordinary moments—waking up, heading to work, wandering through town, and returning home. There’s a sense of restlessness and ennui, but also a subtle acceptance and even celebration of these routines. The refrain, repeated with increasing energy, echoes the cyclical nature of each day, while the verses highlight both the isolation and small joys found in everyday encounters.
The Underlying Meaning
Beneath its cheerful facade, the song hints at a deeper reflection on modern life and its routines. The protagonist’s lack of things to say and the observation that “nothing is changed, it’s still the same” suggest a desire for something more meaningful. Yet, there’s a quiet resilience in finding contentment (“it’s OK”) even within monotony—a theme that resonates universally.
