Lyrics[]

Good morning to all vultures
High up in the trees
Good morning to all vultures
Of high and low degrees
Good morning to all vultures
Near and far
In distant lands across the sea or
Right here where we are
 
Good morning to all vultures
Atop the temple gate
Good morning sleepy vulture
Trying to fly straight
Good morning to the vulture
With the great big beak
We hope today you find
The carrion you seek

It's hard sometimes to be a vulture today
And so we sing "good morning"
Just to start you on your way

Good morning to all vultures
High above this town
Don't let anybody
Try to bring you down
Circle around the cemetery
Way up high
Anyone would be proud to know
So much of the sky
