about

From Virginia: I wanted to write a song to celebrate the child in all of us. I enjoy writing songs that split the lyrics between Andrew and I, in a call and response style. He always brings so much character to the party!

The track features a fiddle contrinbution from the legendary Dave Swarbrick - Swarb - of Fairport Convention and other notorieties.

lyrics

Let’s Not Have A Morning After (Until We’ve Had A Night Before) Words and Music by Virginia Kettle

Act your shoe size babe, not your age,
Don’t suit you to be so mature,
A pillar of society, of serious sobriety,
Your sense of humour’s walking out the door.
We have always got by, on huckleberry pie,
And a tune that gets us carving up the floor,
Let’s not have a morning after,
Until we’ve had a night before.

Well if the world ends tonight, make mine a double,
Don’t want to go out as cold as stone,
The cost of living’s criminal, you know my needs are minimal,
As long as I can find my way home,
So come on all ye sinners, you losers and winners,
You revolutionaries and more,
Let’s not have a morning after,
Until we’ve had a night before.
'Til we’ve had a night before.

So ,let’s put it to the test, in front of these assembled guests,
Do we fall apart before we have begun?
Or spend a little less time worrying, a lot less time hurrying,
While we are still relatively young,
So, let’s party on tonight, while the moon is big and bright,
‘Til Monday morning’s banging on the door,
Let’s not have a morning after,
Until we’ve had a night before.

So come on all ye sinners, you losers and winners,
You revolutionaries and more,
Let’s not have a morning after,
Until we’ve had a night before.

Until we’ve had a night before,

Come on all you sinners!

Ooh ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh

Come on all you sinners!

Let’s have a night before (Yeah let’s have a night before)
