I heard a shanty or worksong:
    chorus
    Good day coming in the morning, Good day coming x2 Good day tomorrow.

    Does anyone have more words ? Many thanks

Hmmm. The link from # leads to "Cask Shanty Duo," a father-daughter team:

    Here's my transcription of the video, which seems to be a fragment of the song:

    [line missing], Good day coming
    I'll go and find me another one, Good day tomorrow.

    CHORUS
    Good day, coming in the morning, Good day coming
    Good day, coming in the morning, Good day tomorrow

    And what will you do if you're left ashore, Good day coming
    I'll never go to sea no more, Good day tomorrow
    CHORUS (twice)

"C.A.S.K. (Collings A cappella Shanty Krew) are a Daughter and Father shanty duo from Teignmouth who have performed at various Pirate and Shanty Festivals from Falmouth to Gloucester. Garbed as Mermaid and Pirate, they have a strikingly different look as well as beautifully blended harmonies?."

A Google of

GOOD DAY TOMORROW

What will you do to earn your pay?
                        Good day coming.
Walk her round twelve hours a day.
                        Good day tomorrow.

Good day coming in the morning
Good day coming
Good day coming in the morning
Good day tomorrow

What will you do when you get your pay?
Go ashore, drink it all away.

What will you do when the work is done?
Go ashore, buy a bottle of rum.

What will you do when you’ve drunk your rum?
Find me a girl with a big fat bum.

What will you do when you’ve had your fun?
Go ashore, find another one.

What will you do when you go ashore?
Never go to sea no more
