Good mornin', good mornin'
We've danced the whole night through
Good mornin', good mornin' to you

Good mornin', good mornin'
It's great to stay up late
Good mornin', good mornin' to you

When the band began to play
The stars was shinin' bright
Now the milkman's on his way
It's too late to say goodnight

So, good mornin', good mornin'
Sunbeams will soon smile through
Good mornin', my darlin', to you

Here we are together
A couple of stand-uppers
Our day is done, breakfast time
Starts it with our suppers

Here we are together
Ah, but the best of friends must part-y
So let me sing this parting song

From the bottom of my heart-y
Good morning, it's a lovely morning
Good morning, what a wonderful day
We danced the whole night through

Good morning, good morning to you
How do you do-do-do?
I said good morning, see the sun is shinin'
A g-good morning, hear the birdies sing

It's great to stay up late
Good mornin', good mornin' to you
When the band began to play

The stars were shinin' bright
Now the milkman's on his way
It's too late to say goodnight

Good morning
Good morning
Sunbeams will soon smile through

Good mornin'
Good morning', sell it man, sell it
Good mornin', my darlin', to you

Ac/dc Highway to Hell or LED Zep’s Stairway to Heaven.

Depending on which way you think they’re headed, of course.

An obvious but not that well known one would be Lyke-Wake Dirge. A traditonal song usually sang in old Yorkshire dialect, which makes it sound like it's in an odd laguage. There are many versions but the one I have is by Al Stewart on his Zero She Flies album but also done, I believe by Steeleye Span among others.

A very dark toon that kind of leaves shivers down the spine.
