bishop danced

bishop danced with a thumbscrew woman, did a double-quick back flip and slid across the floor, the catholic traffic flowed freely across the river, and fiddlestick fiddled quick out the front door, oh, baby dumpling, mama's in the back tree, if the bow breaks, mama might fall, little sad and only, baby don't be lonely, mama knows arithmetic, knows how to take a fall, mama knows arithmetic, knows how to take a fall, and the children cried, "flapjacks, make 'em fat, early in the morning", little jack, grab your hat, hear the breakfast call, muskrat, bat a cat, kick 'em in the fireplace, someone's in the kitchen blowing "dinah" on their horn, someone's in the kitchen blowing "dinah" like they're born, well, maverick daddy got a one-eyed bride, she glides like a monkey-mule kicking on the back slide, over hill, over hill, daddy don't you spill now, papa's got a switch stick, he's pumping little bill, papa's got a switch stick, he's pumping little bill, and billy cries, "tomahawk, tomahawk, daddy better duck now", mohawk, mohawk, they're still out there in the woods, monatuk, ocanuk, running through my dreams now, with fire on their fingertips and engine screams, fire on their fingertips and feathers made of moonbeams, and early in the morning the cannoneer cried, "i seen the sailor's warning in the western sky", oh, mountain man, if you can, cut me down a fir tree, with branches full of candlesticks for baby and me, and baby cries, "duke, duke, the weathervane, she's pointing the way to heaven", scatterbrains, scatterbrains, watch out where you fall, champagne, champagne, a round for all the old choir boys, jumping off the altar chasing dinah through the hall, they're jumping off the altar chasing dinah through the hall, and like kids they're crying, "flapjacks, make 'em fat, early in the morning", little jack, grab your hat, hear the breakfast call, muskrat, bat a cat, kick him in the fireplace, someone in the kitchen 's blowing "dinah" on their horn, someone in the kitchen 's blowing "dinah" like they're born
