Bishop Dance

	  		G 
Bishop danced with a thumbscrew woman 
                                 C               G 
Did a double-quick back flip and slid across the floor 
    C                       G 
The Catholic traffic flowed freely 'cross the river 
                              F             C    G 
And fiddlestick fiddled quick out the front door 

G 
Oh baby dumpling, mama's in the back tree 
                  C          G 
If the bow breaks mama might fall 
G                    C 
Little sad and only, baby don't be lonely 
G                            C             G 
Mama knows 'rithmatic, knows how to take a fall 
G                            F             C    G 
Mama knows 'rithmatic, knows how to take a fall 

G                        C                       G 
And the kids are crying "Flapjacks, make'em fat, early in the mornin' 
C                           G 
Little Jack, grab your hat, hear the breakfast call 
C                   G 
Muskrat, bat a cat, kick him in the fireplace 
        G 
There's someone in the kitchen blowing "Dinah" on their horn 
        G                               F                   C    G 
There's someone in the kitchen blowing "Dinah" like they're born 

     G 
Well maverick daddy got one-eyed bridge 
                              Em             C 
She glides like a monkey-mule kicking on the back slide 
C                     G 
Over hill, over hill, daddy don't you spill now 
G                             C              G 
Papa got a switch stick, he's pumping little Bill 
G                             F              C    G 
Papa got a switch stick, he's pumping little Bill 

    G                   C                   G 
And Billy, he's crying "Tomahawk, tomahawk, daddy better duck now" 
    C                                   G 
The Mohawks, the Mohawks, they're still out there in the woods 
C                G 
Monatuk, Ocanuk, runnin' through my dreams now 
     G 
With fire on their fingertips and indian screams 
     G                            F                C         G 
With fire on their fingertips and feathers made of moonbeams 

G   C   G

    G 
Well early in the morning the cannoneer cried 
   G 
"I seen the sailor's warning in the western sky" 
     C                         G 
Well mountain man, if you can, cut me down a fir tree 
C                                 F        G   C   G 
Branches full of candlesticks for baby and me 


G                               C 
And my darling cried, she said "Honey, the weathervane 
                 C/G 
Lately it's been pointing the way to heaven 
C                                                 G 
Scatterbrains, scatterbrains, watch out where you fall 
C                                         G 
Champagne, champagne, a round for all the old choir boys 
        G 
They're busting off the altar chasing Dinah through the hall 
        G                             F                 C    G 
They're bustin' off the altar chasing Dinah through the hall
