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 suite 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
