In 1893 two sisters called Mildred and Patty Hill wrote a song called “Good Morning to All”. Patty was a teacher and she sang it when her students arrived in class. Mildred wrote the tune and Patty wrote these words:

Good morning to you,
Good morning to you,
Good morning dear children,
Good morning to all.

In 1924 the song appeared with its modern words. In 1962 Marilyn Monroe sang this song for President John F. Kennedy on his birthday. And in 1969 it became the first song in space when astronauts sang it on Apollo IX.
Today it’s the most popular song in English. People also sing it in other countries round the world, but with the words in their language.
The song also generates a lot of money – about $2m a year. This is because you must pay if you want to sing or play the song in a film or on TV.
