Song for after dinner

song for after dinner

Lyrics

when we sat down we were hungry and thirsty
and now we have eaten and drank our fill
so let's gather our plates and wash them and dry them
and try not to break one as we put them away

Songwriter Notes

this song was written after a conversation with Jenny at Lizzy and Chris's wedding. Jenny said that she and MK sometimes sing after dinner.

Comments

I don't know which I love more: 1. that Jenny and MK sing after dinner, 2. that you guys wrote this for them to sing or 3. that they'll probably actually sing it together. Outstanding. Songs for real-life situations are really marvelous, and I think we need more of them. OK Go actually dabbled in that field kind of as a joke: http://www.truthinmusic.net/

Also, and this can only be a good thing, this song reminds me of "Away In A Manger".
