Lyrics
Sun is climbing up the garden wall Rooster's singing, he has told us all Window open, fruit is on the sill Sticky fingers and I've got the thrill Slippers on, I'm dancing to the door Nobody's got a morning like this one anymore It's mango season morning Golden on my face Sweet is dripping down my wrist And I'm smiling all over the place Mango season morning Every little thing is right Turn the music up a little louder Let the day come in so bright Neighbours waving from the balcony Someone's frying plantain, sweet and free Bus is late but I don't mind at all I'm humming louder than the traffic call Slippers on, I'm dancing to the door Nobody's got a morning like this one anymore It's mango season morning Golden on my face Sweet is dripping down my wrist And I'm smiling all over the place Mango season morning Every little thing is right Turn the music up a little louder Let the day come in so bright Clap your hands, clap your hands Small wins everywhere you stand Clap your hands, clap your hands Sunshine's got a master plan It's mango season morning Golden on my face Sweet is dripping down my wrist And I'm smiling all over the place Mango season morning Every little thing is right Turn the music up a little louder Let the day come in so bright Mango season morning Oh, what a sweet, sweet day
