lyrics

When I woke up this morning, what do you think I saw?
Looked out my window, what do you think I saw?
Saw the sun in the sky, don’t need anything more!

Let’s go down to the bay, and jump in the sea
We’ll have ice cream for breakfast, and cocktails for tea
Old friends and new friends, or just you and me

Take a look outside (the sun is shining)
Let’s go outside (the sun in shining)
The sun is shining (Who knows)
Tomorrow it could be rain

When you woke up this morning, what was it you saw?
When you look out your window, what are you looking for?
If the sun’s in the sky, you don’t need anything more!

Let’s go to the country, and do as we please
We’ll swim in the river, and swing in the trees
Lie on the grass and play like the birds and the bees

Take a look outside (the sun is shining)
Let’s go outside (the sun in shining)
The sun is shining (Who knows)
Tomorrow it could be rain

House of the Black Gardenia Newcastle Upon Tyne, UK

Viper jazz, dirty blues and infectious swing rhythms more potent than a bathtub full of bootleg gin. Born of the desire to get their city's dancefloors swinging to the lesser-known roots music of the 1920s and '30s, House of the Black Gardenia brings together the new generation of Newcastle's jazz, blues and swing scene for a raucous revival of old-fashioned good times. ... more
