Swing from the Chandelier

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I want to swing from the chandelier But first I’ll move this stack of chairs Tie my red shoes, clear the floor Tell the neighbors, “Not tonight—ignore!” [Pre-Chorus] The kettle’s humming, the clock says ten I’ve got a borrowed hat and a borrowed friend [Chorus] I want to swing from the chandelier Laugh so hard that the lamps all cheer Round and round till the room turns gold Doing what the grown-ups said not to hold [Verse 2] A paper moon is taped upstairs My jacket’s hanging off the stairs The old fan rattles, the curtains fly I practice my bow and nearly lose an eye [Bridge] If I fall, I’ll land with style Take a little applause and stay awhile No velvet rope, no grand affair Just two good feet and a chandelier [Chorus] I want to swing from the chandelier Laugh so hard that the lamps all cheer Round and round till the room turns gold Doing what the grown-ups said not to hold [Outro] Turn the key, dim the hall One last twirl before we call I want to swing from the chandelier And leave a little laughter here
