I first heard the song 50 years ago or more, so long ago I have no recollection whatsoever about the original verses. I heard the following parody from Kevin James, a well-known Washington, DC metro area folk singer: SEVEN OLD LADIES REFRAIN: Oh dear, what can the matter be Seven old ladies locked in the lavatory They were there from Sunday till Saturday Nobody knew they were there The first old lady was old Mrs. Flynn She prided herself on being quite thin But when she sat down the poor dear fell in Nobody knew she was there The second old lady was old Mrs. Humphrey She twisted and turned until she got comfy But when she was through she could not get her bum free Nobody knew she was there The third old lady was old Mrs. Hart Every two minutes to the toilet she'd dart But when she got there all she did was read Nobody knew she was there The fourth old lady was old Mrs. Moore She was drunk as skunk when she came through the door The seats were all full so she peed on the floor Nobody knew she was there The fifth old lady was old Mrs. Brewster She don't get around like she uster' When she sat down she said somebody goosed her Nobody knew I was there The sixth old lady was old Mrs. Bender When she sat down she snapped a suspender It hit her in the feminine gender Nobody knew she was there The seventh old lady was old Mrs. Mason She came in and peed in the basin That's the water I washed my face in Nobody knew I was there
