Songs To Orphans 1

Bishop Dance

Bishop danced with a thumbscrew woman
Did a double-quick backflip and slid across the floor
The Catholic traffic flowed freely cross the river
And Fiddlestick fiddled quick out the front door

Oh baby dumpling, Mamas in the back tree
If the bough breaks, Mama might fall
Little sad and only, baby dont be lonely
Mama knows rithmetic, knows how to take a fall
Mama knows rithmetic, knows how to take a fall

And the kids are crying
"Flapjacks, make em fat" early in the morning
Little Jack, grab your hat, hear the breakfast call
Mukrat, bad old cat, kick him in the fire-place
Theres someone in the kitchen blowin Dinah on their horn
Theres someone in the kitchen blowin Dinah like theyre born

Well Maverick Daddy got a one-night bride
She glides like a monkey-mule kickin on the backslide
Over hill, over hill, Daddy dont you spill now
Papas got a switch-stick, hes pumpin little Bill
Papas got a switch-stick, hes pumpin little Bill

And Billy hes crying:
"Tomahwak, Tomahwak, Daddyd better duck out
The Mohwaks, the Mohawks, theyre still out there in the woods
Minotak, Okenak, running through my dreams now
With fire on the fingertips and indians screams
Fire on the fingertips and feathers m

Well early in the morning the cannonneer cries
I seen the sailors warning in the western skies
Oh mountain man if you can, cut me down a fir tree
With branches full of candlesticks for baby and me

And my darling cries, she said
"Honey, the weather vane, lately, its been pointin the way to heaven"
Scatterbrains, Scatterbrains, watch out where you fall
Champagne, champagne, a round for all the old choir boys
Theyre bustin off the altar chasin Dinah through the hall
Theyre bustin off the altar chasin Dinah through the hall

And like kids theyre crying
"Flapjacks, make em fat" early in the morning
Little Jack, grab your hat, hear the breakfast call
Mukrat, bad old cat, kick him in the fire-place
Theres someone in the kitchen blowin Dinah on their horn
Theres someone in the kitchen blowin Dinah like theyre born
