Spanky Spanky Dominic

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Dominic came strolling in with one sock in his hand, Said the kettle’s making noises and the cat has left the band. There’s a note beside the doorway, there’s a spoon inside the shoe, And the neighbor’s asking politely what on earth we’re going to do. [Pre-Chorus] The clock says seven-thirty, but the hallway says eleven, Someone’s balancing a teacup like a juggler sent from heaven. [Chorus] Spanky, Spanky, Dominic, Spanky, Spanky in the morning, in the noon time, in the nighttime, All you hear is the little Italian Mexican goin’ Spanky, Spanky! Then explosion, explosion, squirt, squirt— John, do I have any clean sheets? [Verse 2] Auntie’s got the laundry list; the buttons rolled away, The telephone keeps ringing with a message for the day. Dominic checks the cupboard, finds a hat and half a pear, Then asks if anybody’s seen his other underwear. [Pre-Chorus] The neighbors tap the ceiling, the dog begins to stare, John appears with folded towels and a puzzled little prayer. [Chorus] Spanky, Spanky, Dominic, Spanky, Spanky in the morning, in the noon time, in the nighttime, All you hear is the little Italian Mexican goin’ Spanky, Spanky! Then explosion, explosion, squirt, squirt— John, do I have any clean sheets? [Bridge] Fold it once, fold it twice, Keep the spare ones clean and nice. If the wash is in a heap, There’s a fresh set tucked beneath! [Final Chorus] Spanky, Spanky, Dominic, Spanky, Spanky in the morning, in the noon time, in the nighttime, All you hear is the little Italian Mexican goin’ Spanky, Spanky! Then explosion, explosion, squirt, squirt— John, do I have any clean sheets? [Outro] John brings out a stack of linen, Dominic says, “That’s grand.” The cat walks off with one sheet, and the whole house claps its hands.
