Dirty Dishes--
At the kitchen table
Eating all the gravy
Biscuits, cornbread
Turkey legs and ham
Grand man chosen
Is beholden smorgasbord
Stop eating
Look at these dishes
Everyone's eating whose gonna clean up all those dirty dishes
Papa smoking a pipe
Reading the newspaper
Trying to understand all the hype all the hype oh yeah
People still greasing their faces
Overeating diabetics
Sausages and fat back pork and slime and more so much more on the place
At the kitchen table
Eating all the gravy
Biscuits and cornbread
Stomach and head exploding
Grand man chosen
Is beholden smorgasbord
Stop eating all yah
Look at these dishes
Everyone's full got up and ran from the table
Now you no ya able, to come help clean up
Them dirty dishes
