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

And the kids are crying "Flapjacks, make'em fat, early in the mornin'

There's someone in the kitchen blowing "Dinah" like they're born
