As your genial host may I offer a toast |
| [00:10.890] |
To the wine buying guest on my right |
| [00:13.900] |
(Hooray for the wine buyer) |
| [00:15.980] |
Yes drag out the cooking |
| [00:17.380] |
Sherry for the old colonel |
| [00:18.680] |
May his bank account grow |
| [00:20.960] |
Heavy laden with dough |
| [00:22.930] |
May he spend it in here every night |
| [00:26.320] |
(Every night) |
| [00:29.800] |
Seeing this night in its glory |
| [00:32.810] |
You people so loyal so true |
| [00:36.610] |
Puts me in mind of a story |
| [00:41.380] |
Tell us about it pray do-o-o-o-o-o |
| [00:48.010] |
The people in the ballroom |
| [00:49.920] |
Were stuffy and arty |
| [00:51.650] |
So I began to get just a little bit frayed |
| [00:54.960] |
I sneaked into the kitchen |
| [00:56.680] |
I dug me a party |
| [00:58.400] |
The waiter |
| [00:59.070] |
And the porter |
| [01:00.040] |
And the second storey maid |
| [01:01.740] |
I peeked into the parlour to see |
| [01:03.970] |
What was a-hatchin |
| [01:05.300] |
In time to hear the hostess |
| [01:07.050] |
Suggest a charade |
| [01:08.700] |
But who was in the pantry a-laughin an scratchin |
| [01:12.070] |
Oh The waiter |
| [01:13.240] |
And the porter |
| [01:14.050] |
And the upstairs maid |
| [01:15.650] |
When they heard the music |
| [01:17.190] |
That the orchestra played |
| [01:18.930] |
The waiter and the porter grabbed |
| [01:20.800] |
A-hold of the maid |
| [01:22.470] |
Then they all proceeded to go into a clog |
| [01:26.450] |
Hot diggedy dog |
| [01:29.300] |
If ever I invited to some fuddy-duddy |
| [01:32.070] |
|
| [01:32.650] |
I ain a-gonna watch any harlequinade |
| [01:36.030] |
You and l find him in the kitchen |
| [01:38.580] |
Applaudin his buddies |
| [01:39.510] |
The waiter |
| [01:40.340] |
And the porter |
| [01:41.170] |
And the upstairs maid |
| [01:45.930] |
|
| [01:50.070] |
Well pardon me folks |
| [01:51.470] |
The roast is carved |
| [01:53.170] |
The wine is served |
| [01:54.640] |
Why you look half starved |
| [01:56.610] |
Pardon me sir may we be free |
| [01:59.860] |
The kitchen guard is havin a jamboree |
| [02:05.250] |
|
| [02:10.560] |
(Orchestral break) |
| [02:11.110] |
I went and got a dish |
| [02:12.660] |
Pan to use as a cymbal |
| [02:13.870] |
The porter found the regular |
| [02:15.320] |
Glass that he played |
| [02:16.980] |
The fingers of the waiter |
| [02:18.660] |
Were each in a thimble |
| [02:20.330] |
You should-a heard the music |
| [02:22.020] |
That the combination made |
| [02:24.600] |
|
| [02:37.820] |
Marchin' through the kitchen to |
| [02:38.960] |
The pantry and back |
| [02:40.800] |
Why man you should-a seen us |
| [02:42.320] |
We were ballin' the jack |
| [02:44.120] |
Once a half an hour |
| [02:45.730] |
Passed without any call |
| [02:48.220] |
Jack we had a ball |
| [02:51.280] |
The waltzes and mazurkas |
| [02:52.840] |
We hate 'em we spurn 'em |
| [02:54.610] |
We got a lot of rhythms |
| [02:56.240] |
We wanna hear played |
| [02:57.670] |
Yes and we know who to go to |
| [02:59.910] |
When we want to learn 'em |
| [03:01.410] |
The waiter and the porter |
| [03:02.950] |
And the upstairs maid |
