Lyrics
Morning on the doorstep, sun is spilling gold Skirt is full of colour, never gets old Tea is on the table, radio is on Hips begin to wander, I'm dancing till the dawn One step left, one step right Spin around in the morning light Swing, swing, kitchen swing Let the whole house hear me sing Swing, swing, spin and sway Colours dancing all the way Oh-oh, kitchen swing Grandma taught me rhythm with a wooden spoon Patterns on the fabric like a happy tune Neighbours at the window, they are clapping too Nothing beats a morning with a dance or two One step left, one step right Spin around in the morning light Swing, swing, kitchen swing Let the whole house hear me sing Swing, swing, spin and sway Colours dancing all the way Oh-oh, kitchen swing You say swing, I say sway You say shine, I say stay Slow it down, now bring it back Feel the beat and clap, clap, clap Swing, swing, kitchen swing Let the whole house hear me sing Swing, swing, spin and sway Colours dancing all the way Oh-oh, kitchen swing Swing, swing, kitchen swing Good morning, everything
