lyrics

The whistle blows at 3 pm its such a joyful noise
then I head down to the parker house where my baby is employed
we’re gonna paint the town tonight but man before we go
she has to make some parker house rolls
the parker house is just about the finest place to stay
whether you come up from New York or a thousand miles away
and when you visit boston do one thing before you go
and try yourself some parker house rolls
She mixes a tablespoon of sugar with a packet of yeast
adds a quarter cup of water at one hundred ten degrees
waits a minute, adds a cup of flour, and waits some more
that’s how she starts to make the parker house rolls
She melts three-quarters stick of butter in a pan upon the stove
adds a cup of milk, a little sugar, and heats it till its warm
She adds an egg, a pinch of salt, the starter and she mix them all
then adds some flour into the dough, three cups until it forms a ball
It goes into a buttered bowl covered with a towel
and then we let them rise those parker house rolls
Once the dough has doubled and we’ve passed two idle hours
She turns it out onto a counter that she’s covered up with flour
I watch her punch the dough and roll it out
use a mason jar to cut the rounds
folds them up and set them on a pan
and lets them rise an hour again
They bake for 20 minutes at 370 F or so
When they come out you got some parker house rolls
the parker house is just about the finest place to stay
whether you come up from New York or a thousand miles away
If you can’t make it up to Boston, well now at least you know
How to make yourself some parker house rolls
