At six o'clock on Sunday night I first met Percy Brown At seven o'clock you see, he was making love to me At eight o'clock he took me home to see his ma and pa “Because his ma and pa” he said, were most particular As I stood in the parlour wondering what they'd think of me I heard somebody giggling, then in marched the family. Chorus: Percy's mother fixed me with a look Such a funny look, read me like a book Percy's father walked round me Then the dog on the mat began to bark, bow, wow, wow, wow All the kids came peeping through the door Through the parlour door, then they all began to roar Oh Jerusalem, come and see What Percy's picked up in the park. His little brother said I wonder if the thing's alive And then he took a pin and, of course, he stuck it in Then his Uncle Jeremiah said, “This takes a bun What funny things you do see when you haven't got a gun” The young man lodger came and looked at me and said “Dear, dear What curious little insects fly about this time of year.” Chorus: |
