Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Oh Dear What Can the Matter Be
I used to know a Whitewashed version of the three old ladies
but can now only remember two verses !!

Oh Dear what can the matter be
Three old ladies nattering happily
They were at it from Monday to Saturday
And Nobody knew they were there.

The first ladies name was Old Mrs Humphrey
She sat down and made herself comfy
She revelled in scandal and she let her tongue free
While nobody knew she was there

The second old lady was Old Mrs Porter
Her favourite topic was stopping her daughter
From letting the wrong man lead her to the altar
While nobody knew she was there
