lyrics

You grin at six, when the kettle starts

Blue enamel cup, and your eyes go sharp

You cover your face, but your cheeks still spark

You laugh too early, and I know my part

The spoon hits the mug, and you bite your lip

A bus coughs by, on Jogoo Road

You look at me first, then you lose your grip

I see the punchline on your mouth before it shows

Too soon, too soon

You laugh too soon

Too soon, too soon

You laugh too soon

At the fruit stall, with the sliced mango tray

You shake that laugh when the price goes down

The vendor still smiles at the words you say

Then you burst out first, while I’m not around

Too soon, too soon

You laugh too soon

Too soon, too soon

You laugh too soon

In the back seat, with the window down

You hold that laugh like a bead of glass

I turn my head, and you’re already crowned

By the joke that lands a second past

Too soon, too soon

You laugh too soon

Too soon, too soon

You laugh too soon
