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
