Air: “Isabel”
At the Hou-ou-sehold Words at ha-alf past fo-our
I’ll be found, I’ll be found, I’ll be found
When if it don’t blow it will certainly pou-ur
I’ll be bound, I’ll be bound, I’ll be bound!
But whom you expect besi-i-des Lemming
I dont know, I dont know, I dont know
But I’ll write to old Stanny R. & Lemming
I’ll do so, I’ll do so, I’ll do so.
You haven’t got time I sup-po-o-o-ose
To walk out to that Blades
If you do not produce your old no-o-o-ose
I’ll send him a line with all spee-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-eed.
