Bishop Danced (Live)

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
