Leave The Dishes In The Sink, Ma - Spike Jones

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
