Lyrics
Saturday morning and the kitchen's a stage Radio on, got the whole house engaged Spatula mic, I'm the MC today Pancake batter flowing, put the plates in play Auntie on the stove with a shake in her hip Little cousin banging on a pot with a spoon grip Steam in the window, sunshine on the floor Every single rhythm walking through the door Turn it up, turn it up Fill the whole house up Radio, radio, kitchen cypher Everybody in the house is a writer Spoons on the table, hands in the air Cooking up a beat with a little extra flair Radio, radio, kitchen cypher Keep the bass up and the morning higher Syrup on the verse and the rhythm on the plate Come on in the kitchen, there's room, don't wait Grandpa taps the counter like a drum break pro Dad does the harmony, a little bit slow Mama flips the eggs on the one and the three Sister's got the hook and she's singing for free Dog under the table gets a verse of his own Barking on the backbeat, king of the zone Burnt a bit of toast but we kept the groove Burnt toast never stopped a good house move Turn it up, turn it up Fill the whole house up Radio, radio, kitchen cypher Everybody in the house is a writer Spoons on the table, hands in the air Cooking up a beat with a little extra flair Radio, radio, kitchen cypher Keep the bass up and the morning higher Syrup on the verse and the rhythm on the plate Come on in the kitchen, there's room, don't wait Now the song on the air is an old favorite jam Everybody knows it, every word, every ham We sing it to the ceiling, we sing it to the pan Little ones on chairs, the whole family fan Static in the middle but we hum through the gap Home is a rhythm with a coffee-cup clap Put a little love in the pot, let it simmer and ring Breakfast on the beat is a Saturday thing Clap for the spoon, clap for the stove Clap for the folks in the house that you love Clap for the radio, clap for the sun Clap for the cypher when the day's begun Radio, radio, kitchen cypher Everybody in the house is a writer Spoons on the table, hands in the air Cooking up a beat with a little extra flair Radio, radio, kitchen cypher Keep the bass up and the morning higher Syrup on the verse and the rhythm on the plate Come on in the kitchen, there's room, don't wait Kitchen cypher, kitchen cypher Saturday morning, turn it higher
