O (con’t)
The fourth to come was old Mrs. Humphrey
She shifted and jiggled to get herself comfy
Then to her dismay, she could not get her bum free
And nobody knew she was there

The fifth to come in, it was old Mrs. Draper
She sat herself down, and then found there was no paper
She had to clean up with a plasterer's scraper
And nobody knew she was there

The sixth old lady was Emily Clancy;
She went there 'cause something tickled her fancy,
But when she got there it was ants in her pantsy
And nobody knew she was there

The seventh old lady was Elizabeth Bender;
She went there to repair a broken suspender.
(But how in the world she got a suspender)
It snapped up and ruined her feminine gender,
(Caught up in the site of the feminine gender)
And nobody knew she was there
( I 'aven't the slightest idea.)

The janitor came in the early morning.
He opened the door without any warning,
The seven old ladies their seats were adorning,
And nobody knew they were there.

Another: The _#_ old lady was Abigail Quimm
Who crossed her legs on a personal whim,
But her thigh got caught twixt the bowl and the rim
And nobody knew she was there.


OH GRANNY SHE'S GOT THE FLIVER, SHE'S HEADING FOR THE RIVER
From Gary C.:I have an old song that my Father used to sing and I'm trying to find it:
   "OH GRANNY SHE'S GOT THE FLIVER, she's heading for the river,
   Oh ain't that just like a man's mother in law for you"
   [Gary adds: A Fliver was a Model A or T car so it had to be after about 1910.]

OH IT TOOK BELL TO MAKE THE TELEPHONE RING (see INVENTORS SONG on “I” page)
