The Old Kitchen Kettle-1932
 Decca F 3222  Polydor Gr 24986G
It doesnt take me much to make me happy,
So when my job is over every day
To sit beside the fire, is all that I desire
And just to help to pass the time away

And the old kitchen kettle keeps singing a song, singing a song for me.
And as long as the kettle keeps singing a song. Im happy as can be.
I have my ups I have my downs
But I keep smiling when the whole world frowns
Cos the old kitchen kettle keeps singing a song, singing a song for me.

I have a drink, I go to bed, I wake next morning with a great big head.

Theres a cuckoo clock that greets me on the mantel,
A dog that lies contented at my feet.
A cosy easy chair, to rock away my care
And just to make the picture quite complete

Oh, the old kitchen kettle keeps singing a song, singing a song for me.
And as long as the kettle keeps singing a song, Im happy as can be

I may be rich I may be poor,
But when the wolves are howling round my door
Oh, the old kitchen kettle keeps singing a song, singing a song for me.
You may be smart you may be not,
But could you keep singing on a place so hot.
