Heard this song on the radio years ago and have been unable to find the singer or name of song, but I remember

"First thing I do in the morning,
Last thing I do at night.
Think about my baby,
And everything's alright."

chorus:

"Short walk around the ceiling (3x)
Helps to ease my mind."

Maybe it is this one by Warner Mack?

The first thing every morning and the last thing every night
Oh I think of you and all the things I say and do
If only you were here to whisper sweet things to
I tell you how much I love you how I'm longing to hold you tight
The very first thing every morning and the last thing every night
[ steel - ac.guitar ]
Oh I tell you how much I love you

First thing I do in the morning
Last thing I do at night
I think about my baby
And everything's all right

I take a short walk around the ceiling
Helps to lay the scene
I take a short walk around the ceiling
And then I settle down to my Ovaltine

First thing I do in the morning etc.

I don't care what may happen
Here today and gone tomorrow
I don't care what may happen
What I can't steal
I sure can borrow

First thing I do in the morning etc.

I take a short walk around the ceiling
Helps to clear my mind
A short walk around the cieling
Always does the trick, I find

First thing etc.

I don't care what may happen etc.

First thing etc.
