Kettle Siren

CUSTOM

(Four in the morning, don't make a sound, everybody is asleep)
(You put the water on the fire, baby, it's about to boil over)
(GRAB THE DISH TOWEL! IT'S SCREAMING LIKE AN AIR RAID!)

Creeping down the hallway on my tippy toes
Trying to make a cup before the rooster crows
Set the copper kettle on the iron ring
Didn't know the trouble that the steam would bring
I turned the little knob and watched the flame turn blue
Thinking five minutes would be easy through
Water started bubbling beneath the lid
Trying to keep it secret like a little kid
(You left the whistle cap locked upon the spout)
(In ten seconds flat this house is coming out)
(I can't find the oven mitt to pull it from the flame!)
(Use your sleeve, honey, or you take the blame!)

The steam is rising through the kitchen door
The whistle starts to shake the wooden floor

The kettle screaming in the dead of dawn (Dead of dawn)
Whole neighborhood awake upon the lawn (On the lawn)
The kettle blowing like a siren loud (Siren loud)
Waking up the whole residential crowd (Whole crowd)
Grab the handle, take it off the fire (Off the fire)
Steam is rising higher than a wire (Higher and higher)

The little metal flap began to scream and shriek
Sounding like a steam train rolling down the creek
The golden retriever started in to bark
The cat jumped five feet into the dark
I grabbed a checkered dishtowel off the refrigerator door
Wrapped it round the handle and I jumped across the floor
(Look at you dancing on the kitchen tile)
(Waking up the neighbors for a half a mile)
(I got the kettle off! The flame is turned down!)
(Too late, baby, the lights are on in town!)

The steam is rising through the kitchen door
The whistle starts to shake the wooden floor

(Pour the cup, sweetie, since we're both awake)
(That was the loudest tea I ever had to make)
(Drink the tea in peace.)

Sitting at the counter sipping down the brew
Sun is coming up and the morning is new
(Next time buy a regular pot, okay?)
(Yes ma'am)
(The kettle, yeah)
(Cool it down)
