Chorus: The Uncle Joe said, 'Oh, ho,oh I think we'll call her Maggie.' But we all said, 'No.' 'Mary's a nice name,' said old Aunt Flo 'I think we'll call her Mary.' But we all said, 'No.' Then Doctor Jericho, who just popped in you know Said, 'Why make all this fuss? 'Cos the baby's not a she, it's a he, the same as me So shall we call him Gus? And we all said 'Yus.' Uncle Jeff who's rather deaf and hadn't heard a word Of what the doctor said, stood up and acted quite absurd 'We'll call her Mabel,' he yelled out, 'Whatever may occur If it's good enough for my first wife, it's good enough for her. Chorus: Uncle Bill who'd brought a bonnet round, he gave a sigh Then rushed off quickly to the shop and changed it for a tie Aunt Matilda screamed, as she walked out and slammed the door 'If the'd only looked into things they might have found it out before.
