Bishop Dance lyrics

Bishop danced with a thumbscrew woman
Did a double-quick back-flip and slid across the floor
The catholic traffic flowed freely across the river
And fiddlestick fiddled quick out the front door
Baby dumpling, mama`s in the back tree
If the bough breaks mama might fall
Little sad and only, baby don`t be lonely
Mama knows `rithmetic, knows how to take a fall
Mama knows `rithmetic, knows how to take a fall
And the kids are crying
Flapjacks, make`em fat, early in the morning
Little jack, grab your hat
Hear the breakfast call
Muskrat, bad old cat, kick him in the fireplace
There`s someone in the kitchen blowing dinah on their
Horn
There`s someone in the kitchen blowing dinah like they`re
Born

Maverick daddy got one-night prize
The glides like a monkey-mule kickin` on the backslide
Over hill, over hill, daddy don`t you spill now
Papa got a switch-stick, he`s pumping little bill
Papa got a switch-stick, he`s pumping little bill
And bill, he`s crying
Tomahawk, tomahawk, daddy better duck out
The mohawks, the mohawks, they`re still out there in the woods
Molatar, okenah, running through my dreams now

With fire on their fingertips and injun`s screams
Fire on their fingertips and feathers made of moonbeams
Early in the morning the cannoneer cried
I seem the sailor`s warning in the western sky
Oh mountain man, if you can, cut me down a fir tree
Branches full of candlesticks for baby and me
And my darling cried, she said, honey, the weather vane
Lately it`s been pointin` the way to heaven
Scatterbrains, scatterbrains, watch out where you fall champagne, champagne,
A round for all the old choirboys
They`re bustin` off the altar chasing
Dinah through the hall
They`re bustin` off the altar chasing
Dinah through the hall

And like kids they`re crying
Flapjacks, make `em fat, early in the morning
Little jack, grab your hat
Hear the breakfast call
Muskrat, bad old cat, kick him in the fireplace
There`s someone in the kitchen blowing
Dinah on their horn
There`s someone in the kitchen blowing
Dinah like they`re born.
