Bishop Dance
Key: GEnglish

Bishop Gdanced with a thumbscrew woman
Did a double-quick back flip and Cslid across the Gfloor
The CCatholic traffic flowed Gfreely 'cross the river
And fiddlestick fiddled quick Fout the front Cdoor G
Verse
GOh baby dumpling mama's in the back tree
If the bow breaks Cmama might Gfall
GLittle sad and only Cbaby don't be lonely
GMama knows 'rithmatic knows Chow to take a Gfall
GMama knows 'rithmatic knows Fhow to take a Cfall G
Chorus
GAnd the kids are crying "CFlapjacks make'em fat Gearly in the mornin'
CLittle Jack grab your hat Ghear the breakfast call
CMuskrat bat a cat Gkick him in the fireplace
There's Gsomeone in the kitchen blowing "Dinah" on their horn
There's Gsomeone in the kitchen blowing "FDinah" like they're Cborn G
Verse
Well Gmaverick daddy got one-eyed bridge
She glides like a monkey-mule Emkicking on the Cback slide
COver hill over hill Gdaddy don't you spill now
GPapa got a switch stick he's Cpumping little GBill
GPapa got a switch stick he's Fpumping little CBill G
Verse
And GBilly he's crying "CTomahawk tomahawk Gdaddy better duck now"
The CMohawks the Mohawks they're still Gout there in the woods
CMonatuk Ocanuk Grunnin' through my dreams now
With Gfire on their fingertips and Indian screams
With Gfire on their fingertips and Ffeathers made of Cmoonbeams G
Instrumental
