Let's Start a Band
Harmony in the Kitchen: Let's Start a BandLyrics
A sleepy Sunday
A relaxed Sunday
Cooped up inside
Indoors and confined
Tappin' fingers on the tabletop
Tapping fingers on a tabletop
Just watchin' how the sun goes wanderin' by
Observing the movement of the sun
So let's raid the kitchen
Suggesting a spontaneous action
Grab all we can get
Gather food
Then take my hand and join me in
Invitation to join in a creative endeavor
My best idea yet
Expressing excitement about an idea
Let's start a band (let's start a band!)
Proposal to start a band
Let's start a band (let's start a band!)
Reiteration of the band idea
I bet that all these instruments
Suggesting instruments need more players
Could use an extra hand
Emphasizing the need for additional help
Let's start a band (let's start a band!)
Repeating the band initiation idea
Let's start a bah-ah-and
Humorous emphasis on starting a band
And write a song that only we will understand
Creating a song with personal meaning
The ideas are flowin'
Flow of creative ideas
Notes fill up the page
Filling pages with musical notes
Our stuffies are our audience
Imaginary audience and stage
And the countertop's our stage
Suggesting unconventional performance space
We'll write a catchy ditty
Planning to compose a catchy or meaningful song
Or a meaningful lament
Choosing between lighthearted or serious music
Our cat will be our meownager
Assigning a humorous role to a pet
And we'll owe him ten percent
Joking about paying a cat for management
Let's start a band (let's start a band!)
Reiteration of the band idea
Let's start a band (let's start a band!)
Emphasizing the enthusiasm to start a band
Sing it loud, don't worry
Encouraging to sing loudly despite imperfections
If it don't come out as planned
Acceptance of potential imperfections
Let's start a band (let's start a band!)
Reiteration of the band idea
Let's start a bah-ah-and
Humorous emphasis on starting a band
And write a song that only we will understand
Creating a song with personal meaning
We don't need a drumset
Disregarding traditional instruments
We can bang on pans and pots
Using everyday objects as makeshift instruments
Blow into this bottle
Experimenting with different sounds
And let's see what sound we've got
Encouraging exploration of sound
Hold two spoons together
Creating rhythm with household items
And then knock 'em on your knee
Exploring unconventional percussion
I'll do my best to whistle up
Attempting to whistle a new melody
A brand new melody
Commitment to creativity
Alright, come on!
Energetic encouragement
And one day we'll become big stars
Dreaming of future success
And eat nice meals in fancy cars
Aspirations for a glamorous future
But right now in this kitchen I'm content
Contentment in the present moment
So let's play our songs and sing 'em loud
Proudly expressing creativity
Oh, won't our family be so proud
Anticipation of family pride
When our platinum-selling album pays the rent
Imagining financial success from music
