Lyrics
Couldn't sleep at three, so I turned the radio on Found a little two-step for a lonesome hour's dawn Kicked off my slippers, bare feet on the floor Dancing with the fridge door, who could ask for more The cat's giving me a look like I've lost my mind But the linoleum's cool and the rhythm's fine Kitchen table cha-cha at three a.m. Spin it round the chairs, do it all again Nobody watching but the moon and me Shake a little, shimmy a little, wild and free Kitchen table cha-cha at three a.m. Who needs a ballroom when you've got a skillet and a hymn Dance till the dark runs thin Dishrag for a partner, spatula for a mic Singing to the toaster like it's Saturday night Pour a glass of milk and toast to the stars Two left feet and a heart that's ours The clock says three but the clock don't know That the best things happen when the lights are low Kitchen table cha-cha at three a.m. Spin it round the chairs, do it all again Nobody watching but the moon and me Shake a little, shimmy a little, wild and free Kitchen table cha-cha at three a.m. Who needs a ballroom when you've got a skillet and a hymn Dance till the dark runs thin Dip it low, now dip it slow Dip it right down to the floor If you're up there staring at your own ceiling too Come on down, I'll leave the door Kitchen table cha-cha at three a.m. Spin it round the chairs, do it all again Nobody watching but the moon and me Shake a little, shimmy a little, wild and free Kitchen table cha-cha at three a.m. Who needs a ballroom when you've got a skillet and a hymn Dance till the dark runs thin Dance till the dark runs thin Dance till the dark runs thin
