Lyrics of 3 Generations by Hawksley Workman
verse
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
verse
Play a Christmas album
The Elvis Christmas album
Three generations sing blue Christmas all at once
Light another candle
Come sit near the piano
Three generations sing together all at once, oh
chorus
Put away the turkey to make sandwiches tomorrow
And put away the bones to make the soup for the winter
But not the 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 Year's Eve, yeah
verse
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 winter sparrow
Three generations, merry Christmas all at once, ooh
chorus
Put away the turkey to make sandwiches tomorrow
And put away the bones to make the soup for the winter
But not the 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 Year's Eve
outro
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 wartimes
Three generations are only together for so long
Writer(s): Ryan Matthew Corrigan
