House of Lords

The butler henry baker extinguishes the fires
Whilst sir fred'rick harold
Robinson casually retires
Another day tomorrow cries alan crayon steel
All must be up early to have the morning meal
The maid comes with decanter and
To the butler there
Said 'sir here's what you ordered'
He said 'no one seems to care '

It must be good to live in the house of lords
It must be good to live in the house of lords

The house is now in darkness
Before the coming day
But at five o'clock that morning
The master passed away

The housemaid drew the curtains and
The doctors watched the dawn
And the brother bendix sadly watched
The gardener mow the lawn

It must be sad to live in the house of lords
It must be sad to live in the house of lords

Grandma mildred marshall was pouring
Out the tea when she heard about the news
Of sir frederick's tragedy
The hall is now in
Sadness and everybody cried
On the banks of burntley river
Is where sir frederick lies

It must be sad to live in the house of lords
It must be sad to live in the house of lords
