Housewife's Lament (O-Roy-O) Come and listen, let me tell you about my darling Andy, He's tall and fair and slightly randy; At drinking porter he is quite handy. [CLAP CLAP CLAP] He loves me like a devil on a Sunday! Chorus: O-roy-o and a diddle-lum dandy I want a man who can tickle me fancy, Bring me flowers and cherry brandy, [CLAP CLAP CLAP] And loves me night and morning. Monday night and his head is achin' It's down to the pub for a cure he's a-makin' Doesn't he know that my heart is breakin'? [CLAP CLAP CLAP] We never makes love on a Monday! Tuesday night and he gets no bolder; Pains in his back and his neck and his shoulder, Weather's wet and it's getting colder... [CLAP CLAP CLAP] What an awful day is Tuesday! (chorus) Wednesday passes, very dreary. Thursday night and he's feelin' weary. Friday night though I am quite cheery: [CLAP CLAP CLAP] Two more days till Sunday! Saturday night and he's struts and prances Down to the pub like a madman he dances! 12 o'clock and I've lost my chances! [CLAP CLAP CLAP] He's sleepin' in the parlor. (chorus) Sunday night and he's feeling cozy A man and his lass by the fireside rosey; That's the lot, though you're far too nosey! [CLAP CLAP CLAP] What a wonderful day is Sunday! (chorus)
