[VERSE 1]
[G]Bishop danced with a thumbscrew woman
Did a double-quick back flip and [C]slid across the [G]floor
The [C]Catholic traffic flowed [G]freely 'cross the river
And fiddlestick fiddled quick [F]out the front [C]door [G]
[VERSE 2]
[G]Oh baby dumpling, mama's in the back tree
If the bow breaks [C]mama might [G]fall
[G]Little sad and only, [C]baby don't be lonely
[G]Mama knows 'rithmatic, knows [C]how to take a [G]fall
[G]Mama knows 'rithmatic, knows [F]how to take a [C]fall [G]
[CHORUS]
[G]And the kids are crying "[C]Flapjacks, make'em fat, [G]early in the mornin'
[C]Little Jack, grab your hat, [G]hear the breakfast call
[C]Muskrat, bat a cat, [G]kick him in the fireplace
There's [G]someone in the kitchen blowing "Dinah" on their horn
There's [G]someone in the kitchen blowing "[F]Dinah" like they're [C]born [G]
[VERSE 3]
Well [G]maverick daddy got one-eyed bridge
She glides like a monkey-mule [Em]kicking on the [C]back slide
[C]Over hill, over hill, [G]daddy don't you spill now
[G]Papa got a switch stick, he's [C]pumping little [G]Bill
[G]Papa got a switch stick, he's [F]pumping little [C]Bill [G]
[VERSE 4]
And [G]Billy, he's crying "[C]Tomahawk, tomahawk, [G]daddy better duck now"
The [C]Mohawks, the Mohawks, they're still [G]out there in the woods
[C]Monatuk, Ocanuk, [G]runnin' through my dreams now
With [G]fire on their fingertips and indian screams
With [G]fire on their fingertips and [F]feathers made of [C]moonbeams [G]
[INSTRUMENTAL]
[G] [C] [G] x2
[VERSE 5]
Well [G]early in the morning the cannoneer cried
"I [G]seen the sailor's warning in the western sky"
Well [C]mountain man, if you can, [G]cut me down a fir tree
[C]Branches full of candlesticks for [F]baby and [G]me [C] [G]
[VERSE 6]
[G]And my darling cried, she said "[C]Honey, the weathervane
Lately it's been [C/G]pointing the way to heaven
[C]Scatterbrains, scatterbrains, watch out where you [G]fall
[C]Champagne, champagne, a round for all the [G]old choir boys
They're [G]busting off the altar chasing Dinah through the hall
They're [G]bustin' off the altar chasing [F]Dinah through the [C]hall [G]
[CHORUS]
[G]And the kids are crying "[C]Flapjacks, make'em fat, [G]early in the mornin'
[C]Little Jack, grab your hat, [G]hear the breakfast call
[C]Muskrat, bat a cat, [G]kick him in the fireplace
There's [G]someone in the kitchen blowing "Dinah" on their horn
There's [G]someone in the kitchen blowing "[F]Dinah" like they're [C]born [G]
