Hawksley Workman Three Generations lyrics

Wash the dishes
wash the dishes
the christmas dinner dishes
tthree generations in the kithcen
all at once

and go and get a camera
and go and wake up grandpa
three generations in the kitchen
all at once..

play a christmas album
the elvis christmas albumb
three generations sing blue christmas
all at once
and light another candle
come sit near the piano
three generations sing together
all at once.

put away the turkey
to make sandwiches tomorrow
and put away the bones to make soup for hte winter
but not hte wish bone
we'll just put it on the counter
to let it dry out this week
in time to make a wish for new years eve


take turns with the washing
And take turns with the drying
three generations in the kitchen
all at once
soak the tough ones til tomorrow
and save the suet for the sparrows
three generations merry christmas
all at once

put away the turkey
to make sandwiches tomorrow
and put away the bones to make soup for hte winter
but not hte wish bone
we'll just put it on the counter
to let it dry out this week
in time to make a wish for new years eve

and put away the fancy dishes
just to take them out next christmas
three genertaions are only together for so long
telling stories of the good tiems
the bad times and the war time
three generations
are only together for so long
