Pick Something Up is the single from Kitchen Hips' upcoming release, Lonely Weekend, a companion cassette album to her previous work, Lazy Weather.

lyrics

While I stagnate
the world won't wait
for me to get on going

While I'm alone
my lamplit home
holds me, is my ruin

I gotta shake shake shake shake shake shake something up
like an earthquake outta Burbank or like dancing to the boogaloo
I gotta shake shake shake shake shake shake something up
like an earthquake outta Burbank or like dancing with a hula hoop

Well I have found
the world goes round
quick as lickety split

So whether you're dumb
or whether you're bummed
it's better to run than sit

I oughta pick pick pick pick pick pick something up
like a novel or a hobby or a kitty or a kettle drum
I oughta pick pick pick pick pick pick something up
like a rabbit or a habit or a bum or some chewing gum

I wish I was
I wish I were
done with all this wishy-washy wishin'

I'll knock it off
off my socks
like doing dirty dishes in the kitchen

I oughta make make make make make make something up
like some lipstick or some fiction or a biscuit that you butter up
I gotta make make make make make make something up
like a poem or a gnome who's home's beneath a buttercup

I gotta sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-shake x4

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.
