Track number 4 on the B side of Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band.
It describes the boredom and unsatisfaction of being a normal person, living a normal life. Strangely, this actually foreshadows Lennon’s “househusband” period of the mid-70’s.
This song was inspired by an old Corn Flakes advert...
[Intro]
Good morning, good morning
Good morning, good morning
Good morning
[Verse 1]
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 okay
[Chorus]
Good morning, good morning
Good morning
[Verse 2]
Going to work, don't want to go, feeling low down
Heading for home, you start to roam, then you're in town
[Bridge 1]
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
[Verse 3]
After a while you start to smile, now you feel cool
Then you decide to take a walk by the old school
Nothing has changed, it's still the same
I've got nothing to say but it's okay
[Chorus]
Good morning, good morning
Good morning
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge 2]
People running round, it's five o'clock
Everywhere in town it's getting dark
Everyone you see is full of life
It's time for tea and Meet the Wife
[Verse 4]
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 okay
[Chorus]
Good morning, good morning
Good...
[Outro]
Good morning, good morning, good
Good morning, good morning, good
Good morning, good morning, good
Good morning, good morning, good
Guten Morgen, guten Morgen, gut
Guten Morgen, guten Morgen, gut
Guten Morgen, guten Morgen, gut
Guten Morgen, guten Morgen, gut (Ja! Ja!)
Guten Morgen, guten Morgen, gut (Ja!)
Guten Morgen, guten Morgen, gut (Gewözei teuer)
Guten Morgen, guten Morgen, good morning
Good Morning Good Morning was written by Lennon-McCartney & John Lennon.
Good Morning Good Morning was produced by George Martin.
The Beatles released Good Morning Good Morning on Fri May 26 1967.
“‘Good Morning’ is mine. It’s a throwaway, a piece of garbage, I always thought. The ‘Good morning, good morning’ was from a Kellogg’s cereal commercial. I always had the TV on very low in the background when I was writing and it came over and then I wrote the song.”
John Lennon
