Three Generations

Wash the dishes
Wash the dishes
The Christmas dinner dishes
Three generations in the kitchen all at once
And go and get a camera
And go and wake-up grandpa
Three generations in the kitchen all at once
And play a Christmas album
The Elvis Christmas album
Three generations sing Blue Christmas all at once
And light another candle
Come sit near the piano
Three generations sing together all at once
So put away the turkey
To make sandwiches tomorrow, and
Put away the bones to make the soup for the winter
But not the wishbone just put it on the counter
To let it dry out this week
In time to make a wish for New Years eve
And take turns with the washing
And take turns with the drying
Three generations in the kitchen all at once
Soak the tough ones 'till tomorrow
Save the suet for the winter sparrows
Three generations Merry Christmas all at once
And put away the turkey
To make sandwiches tomorrow, and
Put away the bones to make the soup for the winter
But not the wishbone 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 generations are only together for so long
Telling stories of the good times
The bad times and the war times
Three generations are only together for so long
