Nemin Fever

Nemin nemin nemin

Snap of my fingers

Tip of my hat

Yeah

We’re sliding in

Little sugar on my coffee

Little rhythm on my tongue

Lean back in that kitchen chair

Watch the world come undone

You tap once on the table

I tap twice in reply

Every look a little question

Every laugh a little high

Nemin nemin nemin

Say my name in a rhythm (hey!)

Spin me round in your kitchen light

Foot to foot

We’re barely hittin’

Nemin nemin nemin

You got that crooked little grin

When the room starts slow to shimmer

That’s the moment we begin

You hum low by the window

Steam dancing on the glass

I count steps in the hallway

Let the quiet stretch and pass

Your hand slips to my shoulder

Time folds like a sleeve

All that boring conversation

Falls right through the beat

Nemin nemin nemin

Say my name in a rhythm (oh!)

Spin me round in your kitchen light

Foot to foot

We’re barely hittin’

Nemin nemin nemin

You got that crooked little grin

When the room starts slow to shimmer

That’s the moment we begin

[Short organ and horn break

Call-and-response licks]

You lean in

I lean closer

Laugh shakes on your skin

Every tiny hesitation

Counts us in again

Nemin nemin nemin

Say my name in a rhythm (hey!)

Spin me round in your kitchen light

Foot to foot

We’re barely hittin’

Nemin nemin nemin

You got that crooked little grin

When the room starts slow to shimmer

That’s the moment we begin
