lyrics

Last night and the night before
The Morris sisters knocked on my door
I opened the door and let them in
The little one hit me with a bottle of gin

Just can’t understand
The trouble two sisters cause for one man
The tall one is quiet and the little one’s loud
They’re gonna send this man right up to the clouds

I’m gonna warn you! (Warn you)
Don’t scuff my shoes (Scuff my shoes)
I’m gonna tell the boys (Tell the boys)
Boys those sisters ain’t nothin but noise

I can’t sleep anymore
I put a big chair in front of the door
But the Morris girls they broke it down
If I had any sense I’d move outta town

Last night and the night before
The Morris sisters knocked on my door
Tweetin in my ears like gosippy birds
Well, I’m fine as long as they hit the fifth and the third

I don’t mind when they chat about the fellas
I got my eye on my on Miss Mia Bella
Emily’s hitched and Rebecca’s a nun
But every time I see em it’s a barrel of fun

I’m gonna warn you! (Warn you)
I’m gonna shuffle my shoes (Shuffle my shoe)
You better watch out boys (Watch out boys)
Me and those sisters make some kind of noise

I won’t say anymore
Truth is I love when they knock on my door
Even when they chase me with a rolling pin
I’m always happy to see ‘em again
