Seems to me 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
Of course she's pitching in the kitchen
With the apple of her eye
Someone's in the kitchen
Someone's there, I know
Someone's in the kitchen, I know
Somebody's in the kitchen
Somebody's there, I know
Someone's in the kitchen
Strumming on the old banjo
Tell me, Dinah, what's all that doodling, doodling?
Dinah, I hear you doodling, doodling
♪
Wonder who it can be
Who's taking her from me
Go home, go home, go home
If that banjo keeps a-ringing
Southland, he's winging, swinging
His way back home
♪
Overheard the neighbor saying
Couldn't be a cousin, Joe
What's that buzzing?
Can't be the cousin
Cause 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 strumming
Humming soft and low
Come on out of the kitchen
Get away from the old banjo
