The Waiter and the Porter and the Upstairs Maid歌词

As your genial host may I offer a toast
To the wine buying guest on my right
(Hooray for the wine buyer)
Yes drag out the cooking
Sherry for the old colonel
May his bank account grow
Heavy laden with dough
May he spend it in here every night
(Every night)
Seeing this night in its glory
You people so loyal so true
Puts me in mind of a story
Tell us about it pray do-o-o-o-o-o
The people in the ballroom
Were stuffy and arty
So I began to get just a little bit frayed
I sneaked into the kitchen
I dug me a party
The waiter
And the porter
And the second storey maid
I peeked into the parlour to see
What was a-hatchin
In time to hear the hostess
Suggest a charade
But who was in the pantry a-laughin an scratchin
Oh The waiter
And the porter
And the upstairs maid
When they heard the music
That the orchestra played
The waiter and the porter grabbed
A-hold of the maid
Then they all proceeded to go into a clog
Hot diggedy dog
If ever I invited to some fuddy-duddy

I ain a-gonna watch any harlequinade
You and l find him in the kitchen
Applaudin his buddies
The waiter
And the porter
And the upstairs maid

Well pardon me folks
The roast is carved
The wine is served
Why you look half starved
Pardon me sir may we be free
The kitchen guard is havin a jamboree

(Orchestral break)
I went and got a dish
Pan to use as a cymbal
The porter found the regular
Glass that he played
The fingers of the waiter
Were each in a thimble
You should-a heard the music
That the combination made

Marchin' through the kitchen to
The pantry and back
Why man you should-a seen us
We were ballin' the jack
Once a half an hour
Passed without any call
Jack we had a ball
The waltzes and mazurkas
We hate 'em we spurn 'em
We got a lot of rhythms
We wanna hear played
Yes and we know who to go to
When we want to learn 'em
The waiter and the porter
And the upstairs maid
