Seems to be that I hear music
Coming through the kitchen door
I hear Dinah washing china
But I never heard the song before
Someone's in the kitchen with Dinah
Someone's in the kitchen I know
Someone's in the kitchen with Dinah
Strumming on the old banjo
Dinah didn't make no pudding
Didn't make the apple pie
Cause she's pitchin' in the kitchen
With the apple of her eye
Someone's in the kitchen (doo, doo, doo-doo, doo, doo)
Someone's there I know (doo, doo, doo-doo, doo, doo)
Someone's in the kitchen (doo, doo, doo-doo, doo, doo)
I know (doo, doo, doo-doo, doo-doo dah)
Somebody's in the kitchen (doo, doo, doo-doo, doo, doo)
Somebody's there I know (doo, doo, doo-doo, doo, doo)
Someone's in the kitchen (doo, doo, doo-doo, doo, doo)
Strumming on the ol' banjo (doo, doo, doo-doo, doo-doo)
Tell me Dinah, what's all that doodlin', doodlin'
Dinah, I hear you noodlin', noodlin'
Doo, doo, dee, dee boh bah dah rah, dah-da-dah rah-dee
Doo, doo, doo, dee dah de-bah-dozah, rah be-badah
Doo, ree, ree, bah-dah dah-dee
Doo, ree, rah, rah-lo lah-dee
Doo, dee, ree bah dah-dah do ho, bah ra de-dah-doodah ho
Wonder who it could be
Who's taking her from me
Go home, go home, go home
If that banjo keeps a ringin'
Southland I'm wingin'
Swinging my way back home
oh I heard neighbors sayin'
could be the cousin' Joh
what's that's furthen! can't be cousin
cause's he died a year ago!
Someone's in the kitchen with Dinah
Someone's in the kitchen I know
Someone's in the kitchen with Dinah
I can hear them strummin'
Hummin' soft and low
Come on out of the kitchen
Get away from the ol' banjo!
