/(Exactement pareil)/

Take turns with the washing

And take turns with the drying

Three generations in the kitchen all at once

 

Soak the tough ones till tomorrow

And save the suet for the winter sparrow

Three generations merry Christmas all at once

 

Put away the turkey to make sandwiches tomorrow

And put away the bones to make the soup for the winter

But not the wish bone we'll just leave it on the counter

To let it dry out this week

In time to make a wish for new year's eve

 

And put away the fancy dishes just to take them out next Christmas

Three generations are only together for so long

Telling stories of the good times, the bad times and the war times

Three generations are only together for so long
