The Waiter, the Porter and the Upstairs Maid - Bing Crosby (本·考斯比)[00:00:00]
As your genial host may I offer a toast[00:00:06]
To the wine buying guest on my right[00:00:10]
Hooray for the wine buyer[00:00:13]
Yes drag out the cooking sherry for the old colonel[00:00:15]
May his bank account grow heavy laden with dough[00:00:18]
May he spend it in here every night[00:00:23]
Every night[00:00:26]
Seeing this night in its glory[00:00:30]
You people so loyal so true[00:00:32]
Puts me in mind of a story[00:00:36]
Tell us about it pray do-o-o-o-o-o [00:00:41]
The people in the ballroom were stuffy and arty[00:00:48]
So I began to get just a little bit frayed[00:00:51]
I sneaked into the kitchen I dug me a party[00:00:55]
The waiter[00:00:58]
And the porter[00:00:59]
And the second storey maid [00:01:00]
I peeked into the parlour to see what was a-hatchin'[00:01:01]
In time to hear the hostess suggest a charade[00:01:05]
But who was in the pantry a-laughin' an' scratchin'[00:01:08]
Oh waiter[00:01:12]
And the porter[00:01:12]
And the upstairs maid[00:01:13]
When they heard the music that the orchestra played[00:01:15]
The waiter and the porter grabbed a-hold of the maid[00:01:18]
Then they all proceeded to go into a clog[00:01:22]
Hot diggedy dog [00:01:26]
If ever I'm invited to some fuddy-duddy's[00:01:29]
I ain't-a-gonna watch any harlequinade[00:01:32]
You'll find him in the kitchen applaudin' his buddies[00:01:36]
The waiter[00:01:39]
And the porter[00:01:40]
And the upstairs maid[00:01:41]
Well pardon me folks the roast is carved[00:01:50]
The wine is served why you look half starved[00:01:53]
Pardon me sir may we be free[00:01:56]
The kitchen guard is havin' a jamboree[00:01:59]
I went and got a dish pan to use as a cymbal[00:02:10]
The porter found the regular glass that he played[00:02:13]
The fingers of the waiter were each in a thimble[00:02:17]
You should-a heard the music that the combination made[00:02:20]
Marchin' through the kitchen to the pantry and back[00:02:37]
Why man you should-a seen us [00:02:40]
We were balling the jack[00:02:42]
Once a half an hour passed without any call[00:02:44]
Jack we had a ball[00:02:48]
The waltzes and mazurkas we hate 'em we spurn 'em[00:02:51]
We got a lot of rhythms we wanna hear played[00:02:54]
Yes and we know who to go to[00:02:57]
When we want to learn 'em[00:02:59]
The waiter and the porter and the upstairs maid[00:03:01]
