Dancing in the Kitchen at Noon

by Teddy Okafor Trio

“Burnt toast and a wooden spoon, and that's about the whole arrangement. Danny swears he's playing the spoon on the fills.”

Lyrics

Radio on and the toast is burning
Wooden spoon, and my hips are turning
Sunlight sliding across the floor
Nobody's watching, so I want more

Socks on the tile, I'm sliding past
Sweet little moment made to last
Nothing to do and nowhere to be
Just the rhythm and me

Dancing in the kitchen at noon
Humming along to a happy tune
Spin me round, the day is bright
Everything's going to be all right
Dancing in the kitchen at noon

Neighbour's window is open wide
She is waving, she's got a smile
Raise the spoon and give a cheer
Joy is simple when it's near

Don't need a ballroom, don't need a band
Just a little floor and a willing hand
Take the day and let it play
Dance a little, dance away

Dancing in the kitchen at noon
Humming along to a happy tune
Spin me round, the day is bright
Everything's going to be all right
Dancing in the kitchen at noon

Dancing in the kitchen
At noon
