Do in’ it all (Eb)night, all sum mer, do in’ it the (G)way I wan na.

Yeah I’m a dance my (Eb)heart out ’til the dawn but I won’t be (G)done when morn ing comes.

Do in’ it all (Eb)night, all sum mer, gon na spend it (G)like no oth er.

It was a crush but I (G)could n’t, could n’t get e nough,

it was a rush but I (G)gave it up.

It was a crush now I (G)might have went and said too much

but that’s all it was so I (G)gave it up.

I live my day as (Eb)sun won’t set on us, ooh

Went low, went (G)high, still wat ers run (Eb)dry, got ta get back in the groove, I ain’t ev er wor ry.

Went low, went (G)high, what mat ters is (Eb)now, get ting right back in the mood.

(G)sec ond time is one too late.

Ooh,

I live my day as (Eb)if it was the last.

Live my day as (G)if there was no past.

Do in’ it all (Eb)night, all sum mer, do in’ it the (G)way I wan na.

Yeah I’m a dance my (Eb)heart out ’til the dawn, but I won’t be (G)done when morn ing comes.

Do in’ it all (Eb)night, all sum mer, gon na spend it (G)like no oth er.

(Eb)Now I’ve found an oth er crush, the (G)lush life giv in’ me a rush, (Eb)had one chance to make me blush, (G)sec ond time is one too late.

Lush Life by Zara Larsson — Easy Piano for Kids

This page shows “Lush Life by Zara Larsson in our color-coded kid songbook view — every note is colored by pitch (red C, orange D, yellow E, green F, blue G, purple A, pink B) and the lyrics sit directly under each note, so children can sing along while they play. The song is in the key of C at 90 BPM, a medium-difficulty arrangement — try slowing the tempo down using the BPM control.

Tips for parents & teachers

  • Start at 50% tempo using the BPM control. Speed up only when your child can play through without stopping.
  • Turn on the metronome from the top bar to build steady rhythm.
  • Use the segmented OFF / C / 1 button to toggle note labels on the staff and keys — kids learn note names faster with letters showing.
  • Tap a measure number on the timeline to jump to a specific section for repeat practice.

Teacher’s notes

This arrangement sits in a comfortable mid-tempo groove at 90 BPM, but the real challenge is nailing the syncopated right-hand rhythm that drives the vocal melody — you'll find yourself landing between beats more often than on them, so start by clapping the rhythm alone before adding notes. Your left hand will cycle through a repeating chord pattern that should feel predictable once you've got the shapes under your fingers, but watch the transitions closely; moving smoothly between chords while your right hand syncopates is where most students stumble. Practice hands separately at around 60 BPM first, then bring them together only once each hand feels automatic. When you combine them, loop the chorus until the coordination clicks — that's the section where the rhythmic push-and-pull is trickiest. Use a light touch on the sustain pedal, changing it with each new chord to keep things clean. This is a fantastic song for training your internal sense of offbeat phrasing, a skill that transfers to almost every pop piece you'll play next.
