This was really fun to find these notes. I am with all of you, loving that song I learned long ago. I grew up in Hollywood, FL & learned it at Hollywood Hills Elementry school in the 50's. My mind remembers the beginning of it as: When I wake up in the morning, where the orange blossoms grow. Where the sun comes-a-peepin' into where I'm-a-sleepin' and the song birds say, "Hello!"
