[00:06.710]As your genial host may I offer a toast
[00:10.890]To the wine buying guest on my right
[00:13.900](Hooray for the wine buyer)
[00:15.980]Yes drag out the cooking
[00:17.380]Sherry for the old colonel
[00:18.680]May his bank account grow
[00:20.960]Heavy laden with dough
[00:22.930]May he spend it in here every night
[00:26.320](Every night)
[00:29.800]Seeing this night in its glory
[00:32.810]You people so loyal so true
[00:36.610]Puts me in mind of a story
[00:41.380]Tell us about it pray do-o-o-o-o-o
[00:48.010]The people in the ballroom
[00:49.920]Were stuffy and arty
[00:51.650]So I began to get just a little bit frayed
[00:54.960]I sneaked into the kitchen
[00:56.680]I dug me a party
[00:58.400]The waiter
[00:59.070]And the porter
[01:00.040]And the second storey maid
[01:01.740]I peeked into the parlour to see
[01:03.970]What was a-hatchin
[01:05.300]In time to hear the hostess
[01:07.050]Suggest a charade
[01:08.700]But who was in the pantry a-laughin an scratchin
[01:12.070]Oh The waiter
[01:13.240]And the porter
[01:14.050]And the upstairs maid
[01:15.650]When they heard the music
[01:17.190]That the orchestra played
[01:18.930]The waiter and the porter grabbed
[01:20.800]A-hold of the maid
[01:22.470]Then they all proceeded to go into a clog
[01:26.450]Hot diggedy dog
[01:29.300]If ever I invited to some fuddy-duddy
[01:32.070]
[01:32.650]I ain a-gonna watch any harlequinade

[01:39.510]The waiter
[01:40.340]And the porter
[01:41.170]And the upstairs maid
[01:45.930]
[01:50.070]Well pardon me folks
[01:51.470]The roast is carved
[01:53.170]The wine is served
[01:54.640]Why you look half starved
[01:56.610]Pardon me sir may we be free
[01:59.860]The kitchen guard is havin a jamboree
[02:05.250]
[02:10.560](Orchestral break)
[02:11.110]I went and got a dish
[02:12.660]Pan to use as a cymbal
[02:13.870]The porter found the regular
[02:15.320]Glass that he played
[02:16.980]The fingers of the waiter
[02:18.660]Were each in a thimble
[02:20.330]You should-a heard the music
[02:22.020]That the combination made
[02:24.600]
[02:37.820]Marchin' through the kitchen to
[02:38.960]The pantry and back
[02:40.800]Why man you should-a seen us
[02:42.320]We were ballin' the jack
[02:44.120]Once a half an hour
[02:45.730]Passed without any call
