For Research and Educational Use As youre genial host, may I offer a toast, to the wine buying guest on my right. May his bank account grow, heavy laden with dough, Mat he spend it here every night. Seeing this night in it's glory, you people so loyal so true Puts me in mind of a stort It might have happened to you. refrain--- The people in the ballroom were stuffy and arty, so I began to get just a little afraid, I sneaked in to the kitchen and found me a party; The waiter and the porter and the second story maid. I peeked into the parlor to see what was hatchin' In time to hear the hostess suggesting a charade, But who was in the pantry a laughin' and schratchin', 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'm invited to some fuddy duddy's I ain't a gonna watch any harlequinade, You'll find me in the kitchen applaudin' my buddies; the waiter and the porter and the upstairs maid.......... I went and got a dishpan to use a cymbal, the porter found a glass that he played, the fingers of the waiter were each in a thimble, you should of heard the music that the combination made. Of course we had to stop for a short intermission, when anybody rang for a pink lemonade, but soon as it was done we were back in position, the waiter and the porter and the upstairs maid. Marcg-in' through the kitchen to the party 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 we hate em, we spurn em We got a lotta rhythms we wanna hear played, and we know who to go to if we want to learn em; the Waiter and the porter and the upstairs maid... to see sheet music: http://www.johnnymercer.com/sheets/474.jpg
