Lyrics

Mr. Wind

[Verse 1]

Where are you going, oh wind of the morning?

Your slippers are showing, and you're still yawning

(To waken the wee ones and tickle their lashes

For breakfast of milk buns, toy spoons and splashes)

[Chorus]

Good morning, Mr. Wind

Good morning, Mr. Wind

Where are you going?

(Where am I goin'?)

[Verse 2]

Where are you going so tinyly singing?

Where are you blowing the kiss you are making?

(To ponds to make ripplings, to blow out the matches

And lift up the gull wings when the plow scratches)

[Chorus]

Good morning, Mr. Wind

Good morning, Mr. Wind

Where are you going?

(Where am I goin'?)

[Bridge]

Boo-pa-dee, boo-boo

Ooh-pa-dee, boo-boo

Boo-pa-dee, boo-boo

Ooh-pa-dee, boo-boo

Ooh-pa-dee, boo-boo

Ooh-pa-dee, boo-boo

Ooh-pa-dee, boo-boo

Ooh-pa-dee, boo-boo

[Chorus]

Good morning (Good morning), Mr. Wind

Good morning, Mr. Wind

Where are you going?

(Where am I goin'?)

[Verse 1]

Where are you going, wind of the morning?

Your slippers are showing, and you're still yawning

(To waken the wee ones and tickle their lashes

For breakfast of milk buns, toy spoons and splashes)

[Chorus]

Good morning, Mr. Wind

Good morning, Mr. Wind

And where are you going?

(Where am I goin'?)

[Outro]

Ooh-pa-dee, boo-boo

Boo-pa-dee, boo-boo

Ooh-pa-dee, boo-boo

Boo-pa-dee, boo-boo

Ooh-pa-dee, boo-boo

Boo-pa-dee, boo-boo

Ooh-pa-dee, boo-boo

Ooh-pa-dee, boo-boo

Ooh-pa-dee, boo-boo

Ooh-pa-dee, boo-boo
