Subject: Lyr Req: Parody of 'Three Coins In A Fountain'
Years ago I heard an elderly woman from Glasgow singing a parody version of the Jule Styne/Sammy Caan song "Three Coins In A Fountain". It told the story of three women queuing up, waiting for a shop to open during the January sales. Each woman had her eye on the same bargain. After a fight broke out, they all ended up getting arrested and charged.

I can't remember any of the words other than the final verse which ran something like this:

"Three wives in a courtroom
Each one hoping for a fine
But the judge has decided
One of them is doing time.
Make it mine!
Make it mine!
Make it mine!"

Can anyone help with the rest of the lyrics?
