Seven Old Ladies

Melody -

1. They said they were going to have tea with the vicar
So they went in together cause they thought it was quicker
But the lavatory door was a bit of a sticker
And nobody knew they were there.


Refrain:
Oh dear what can the matter be
Seven old ladies got stuck in the lavatory
They were there from Sunday til Saturday
Nobody knew they were there.

2. Now the first was the wife of a deacon from dover
And though she was known as a bit of a rover
She liked it so much that she thought she'd stay over
And nobody knew she was there.
Refrain:

3. Now the next was the bishop of Chichester's daughter
Who went in to pass some superfluous water
She pulled on the chain & the rising tide caught her
And nobody knew she was there.
Refrain:
  4. Now the next old gal was Abigail Humphrey
Who settled inside just to make herself comfy
Then she found out that she could not get her bum free
And nobody knew she was there.
Refrain:

5. Now another old lady was Elizabeth Bender
Who was doing all right till a vagrant suspender
Somehow got caught in a feminine gender
And nobody knew she was there.
Refrain:

6. The next old lady was old Mrs. Draper
She went in to find there was no paper
The only thing there was a brick layers scraper
And nobody knew she was there.
Refrain:

7. The last old lady was old Mrs. Mason
She had to go quick so she went in the basin
And that was the water that I washed my face in
Cause I didn't know she was there.
