Singin’ in the Kitchen   (Shel Silverstein)

Shall we do it?

OK, is everybody ready now? YES

Chorus

          D
OK, Here we go, singin’ in the kitchen
           A7
All together now, singin’ in the kitchen
      D               G                               A7                          D
Everybody, singin’ in the kitchen, bangin’ on pots and pans

Mummy and Daddy, singin’ in the kitchen

Baby laughin’, singin’ in the kitchen

All the kids, singin’ in the kitchen, bangin’ on the pots and pans

     D                                A7
Supper’s done and the tables clear
                                   D
Baby wants a bottle and I want a beer
                           G
Lord I sure am glad I’m here
                A7                            D
Where there’s lots of love to share

And now clap hands and everybody sing

Dishes clang and the banjo ring

There’s gravy on these guitar strings

But I don’t really care

‘Cause here we are, singin’ in the kitchen

All together now, singin’ in the kitchen

Everybody, singin’ in the kitchen, bangin’ on the pots and pans

I’ll play the comb and you play the spoons

I’ll sing the words and you sing the tunes

We’ll wake up the old man in the moon

‘Cause we sang so loud

I’ll hug you all and you hug mother

Snuggle up close to one another

Just like bread on a piece of butter

Lord it makes me feel so proud

‘Cause here we are, singin’ in the kitchen

All together now, singin’ in the kitchen

Everybody, singin’ in the kitchen, bangin’ on the pots and pans

Now the fire place ember’s glowin’ red

Everybody’s tired and its time for bed

Baby’s noddin’ his little sleepy head

So let’s all sing quite low

Shhhhh

Who do we love, singin’ in the kitchen

Can’t get enough, singin’ in the kitchen

Whole lot of love, singin’ in the kitchen, bangin’ on the pots and pans

Mummy and daddy, singin’ in the kitchen

Little bitty baby, singin’ in the kitchen

All the kids, singin’ in the kitchen, bangin’ on the pots and pans

Here we go, singin’ in the kitchen

All together now, singin’ in the kitchen

Everybody, singin’ in the kitchen, bangin’ on the pots and pans

Yeh, mummy and daddy, singin’ in the kitchen

Baby laughin’, singin’ in the kitchen

All the kids, singin’ in the kitchen, bangin’ on the pots and pans
