Three Old Ladies

     Oh, dear, what can the matter be
     Three old ladies locked in the lavatory
     They were there from Monday to Saturday
     Nobody knew they were there

The first one's name was Elizabeth Porter
She went in to be rid of some overdue water
And she stayed there far more than she ought to
And nobody knew she was there.

     CHORUS

The second one's name was Elizabeth Pomphrey
She went in and made herself comfy
Then she said: "Girls, I can't get my bum free."
And nobody knew she was there

     CHORUS

The last one's name was Elizabeth Carter
She was known as a world renowned farter
She went in and played a sonata
And nobody knew she was there.

     CHORUS

Chorus known for years, verses heard sung at the Torquay Folk
Club in Cornwall in July 1987.
