[00:00:00] The Waiter and the Porter

[00:00:01] And the Upstairs Maid - Bing Crosby

[00:00:07] As your genial host may I offer a toast

[00:00:11] To the wine buying guest on my right

[00:00:14] (Hooray for the wine buyer)

[00:00:16] Yes drag out the cooking

[00:00:17] Sherry for the old colonel

[00:00:18] May his bank account grow

[00:00:21] Heavy laden with dough

[00:00:23] May he spend it in here every night

[00:00:26] (Every night)

[00:00:30] Seeing this night in its glory

[00:00:33] You people so loyal so true

[00:00:36] Puts me in mind of a story

[00:00:41] Tell us about it pray do-o-o-o-o-o

[00:00:48] The people in the ballroom

[00:00:50] Were stuffy and arty

[00:00:51] So I began to get just a little bit frayed

[00:00:55] I sneaked into the kitchen

[00:00:56] I dug me a party

[00:00:58] The waiter

[00:00:59] And the porter

[00:01:00] And the second storey maid

[00:01:02] I peeked into the parlour to see

[00:01:04] What was a-hatchin

[00:01:05] In time to hear the hostess

[00:01:07] Suggest a charade

[00:01:09] But who was in the pantry a-laughin an scratchin

[00:01:12] Oh The waiter

[00:01:13] And the porter

[00:01:14] And the upstairs maid

[00:01:15] When they heard the music

[00:01:17] That the orchestra played

[00:01:19] The waiter and the porter grabbed

[00:01:21] A-hold of the maid

[00:01:22] Then they all proceeded to go into a clog

[00:01:26] Hot diggedy dog

[00:01:29] If ever I invited to some fuddy-duddy

[00:01:32] I ain a-gonna watch any harlequinade

[00:01:36] You and l find him in the kitchen

[00:01:38] Applaudin his buddies

[00:01:39] The waiter

[00:01:40] And the porter

[00:01:41] And the upstairs maid

[00:01:50] Well pardon me folks

[00:01:51] The roast is carved

[00:01:53] The wine is served

[00:01:54] Why you look half starved

[00:01:56] Pardon me sir may we be free

[00:02:00] The kitchen guard is havin a jamboree

[00:02:10] (Orchestral break)

[00:02:11] I went and got a dish

[00:02:12] Pan to use as a cymbal

[00:02:14] The porter found the regular

[00:02:15] Glass that he played

[00:02:17] The fingers of the waiter

[00:02:18] Were each in a thimble

[00:02:20] You should-a heard the music

[00:02:22] That the combination made

[00:02:38] Marchin' through the kitchen to

[00:02:39] The pantry and back

[00:02:41] Why man you should-a seen us

[00:02:42] We were ballin' the jack

[00:02:44] Once a half an hour

[00:02:46] Passed without any call

[00:02:48] Jack we had a ball

[00:02:51] The waltzes and mazurkas

[00:02:53] We hate 'em we spurn 'em

[00:02:54] We got a lot of rhythms

[00:02:56] We wanna hear played

[00:02:57] Yes and we know who to go to

[00:03:00] When we want to learn 'em

[00:03:01] The waiter and the porter

[00:03:03] And the upstairs maid
