Orange Peel Sunrise
by Zuri Bell
“Orange peel, gold light, and the first good mood of the day. The horn line is just me copying the kettle.”

Lyrics
Kitchen window, the light comes in gold I peel an orange, the smell is bold Little sun in my hand, spinning round Sticky fingers, happy sound One curl, two curl, the peel drops down Morning's got a brand new crown Orange peel sunrise, wake up sweet Orange peel sunrise, tap your feet Squeeze the day, let it shine on me Orange peel sunrise, come and see Oh-oh, orange peel! (Orange peel!) Oh-oh, sunrise! (Sunrise!) Share a slice with the neighbour next door She laughs and asks me for one more Juice on my chin and I don't care Sunshine's dripping everywhere One curl, two curl, the peel drops down Morning's got a brand new crown Orange peel sunrise, wake up sweet Orange peel sunrise, tap your feet Squeeze the day, let it shine on me Orange peel sunrise, come and see Oh-oh, orange peel! (Orange peel!) Oh-oh, sunrise! (Sunrise!) Hold it up to the window pane Glowing circle, gold and plain Everybody grab a piece Citrus joy and sweet release Orange peel sunrise, wake up sweet Orange peel sunrise, tap your feet Squeeze the day, let it shine on me Orange peel sunrise, come and see Oh-oh, orange peel! (Orange peel!) Oh-oh, sunrise! (Sunrise!) Sticky fingers, sunny day Orange peel sunrise, hey!
