DANCIN' 'ROUND THE KITCHEN

D. Fitzpatrick (SOCAN)



My Pop was a hard workin' man from Spaniards Bay

He never had much time to stop

He'd work 'til late in the evening from the break of dawn

For enough to get him by was all he got



Grandma's gentle hand touched so many hearts in town

Everyone around called her Nan

She knew just how to pick you up when you were feelin' down

Always there to help a stranger or a friend



CHORUS:

I remember watching my Pop and my Nan

Waltzing to “The Black Velvet Band”

Smiles on their faces, they embraced one another

Dancin' round the kitchen, hand in hand



Up in the garden when I should have been in school

Workin' the ground with my Pop

He said "there's work to be done son, you must lend a hand

You know we're all depending on the crop"



CHORUS



Nan... she'd always greet you with a kiss and a smile

They worked real hard then took time out for awhile



CHORUS
