Mrs. Thursday
Shall I return at six o'clock as usual my lady?
Yes James, that would be lovely
Mrs. Thursday came to tea at the same locality
As she did last week, and the week before
There was a band who were grand on the stand playing
And all the people talked and talked and talked and talked
Have you heard that misses Payne is expecting once again
How man' is that now?
I think it's seven
Seven? Seven
And the band who were grand on the stand kept on playing
And all the people talked and talked and talked and talked
And the band who were grand on the stand kept on playing
And all the people talked and talked and talked and talked
Who's that knockin at the door?
It's the reverend of the law, he's late as usual, but just in time
To hear the band who were grand on the stand, keep on playing
And all the people talked and talked and talked and talked
Tea and cottage on the lawn
Mrs. Thurday gives a yawn and thinks sadly
It's time to go but the band
Who were grand on the stand kept on playing
And all the people talked and talked and talked and talked
Talked and talked and talked etc. Etc
