lyrics

One daisy I was lazy
and I daffadilly-dallied
but I rose up
and made things happen

I was whining, I was pining
like an unblown dandelion
tapped some maple syrup sap
out of my happiness

Don’t you say your day is weedy
when your noggin’s feeling needy
gotta feed it with the seeds
of springtime saplings

Don’t you mind your time is fleeting
when you find your mind is greedy
gotta curb it with the warmth
of sunlight dappling

One, tulip, three-lip, four
I was cedar on the floor
but I stood up
and made things happen

I was hoping that a crocus
would open up my throat
so I could sing a tune
like wings on birdies flapping

Don’t you let your mind get foggy
like a froggy stopping hopping
like a grey day growing groggy
in the morning

Don’t you let the loggers log you
or the bogs of boredom bog you
spruce your juice
and chase your dreams like tails on doggies

One, tulip, three-lip, four
Ficus, six, and sycamore
Sylvan, oak, pine, and ten
Eleven, twelve
Count again!
[x2]

One, tulip, three-lip, four
I was cedar on the floor
but I stood up
and made things happen

Kitchen Hips Los Angeles, California

Kitchen Hips is the moniker of songwriter and folk musician, Aerienne Russell. Alongside Evan Hemsley, Russell makes melodious music steeped in hominess, heartache, and nostalgic whimsy.

As a self-taught musician with deep family roots in Appalachia, her music speaks to a simpler time, like the songs of The Carter Family and Connie Converse with a pinch of Lee Hazelwood’s wry wit.
