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

Leave The Dishes In The Sink, Ma

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
