Spike Jones - Leave The Dishes In The Sink, Ma lyrics

Pa started in 'a running When he heard the whistle blow The Postman brought a letter And airmail from our Joe It said "I've come back safely From across the ocean blue." Then Pa took off Ma's apron And he hollered out "Yahoo!" Leave the dishes in the sink, Ma Leave the dishes in the sink Each dirty plate will have to wait Tonight we're going to celebrate Leave the dishes in the sink Pa started in 'a jigging And he cried, "Pa shake a leg! I'm going down the cellar Cause there cider in the keg The bolongy's in the icebox There's cheese and pickles, too We'll call in all the neighbors Cause tonight's our night. Yahoo!" Leave the dishes in the sink, Ma Leave the dishes in the sink Each dirty plate will have to wait Tonight we're going to celebrate Leave the dishes in the sink Si began 'a fiddling And the dancing was begun Then Grandpa took his coat off And yelled, "Partner's everyone!" So each one picked a partner And they counted out, "One, two" And Ma she twirled so pretty They all hollered, "Yahoo!" Leave the dishes in the sink, Ma Leave the dishes in the sink Each dirty plate will have to wait Tonight we're going to celebrate Leave the dishes in the sink And while they all were dancing The door blew open wide And everybody stopped And Sergeant Joey stepped inside He shouted out, "Attention!" And everybody knew To bother with the dishes Was not the thing to do Leave the dishes in the sink, Ma Leave the dishes in the sink Each dirty plate will have to wait Tonight we're going to celebrate Leave the dishes in the sink
