I'M THE HUSBAND OF THE WIFE OF MR WU
As recorded by George Formby, 18-Jun-1939.

Famous men they come and go.
Where they go to I don't know.
All I know, it's clear:
I'm still here.

I'm the husband of the wife of Mister Wu.
She feeds me up with nice chop suey too.
Of charm, she has a lot.
Don't know exactly what.
It's just a little somethin' that the others haven't got.

Our honeymoon in China was a do.
We visited pagodas quite a few.
Said a geisha: "You look sporty,"
But I said: "I daren't be naughty.
I'm the husband of the wife of Mister Wu."

Said a geisha servin' tea, "Me likee you."
A tasty dish she brought, and made love, too.
Then I said: "You'd better stop quick.
You can't meddle with my chopstick.
I'm the husband of the wife of Mister Wu."

In the market square of things I bought a few.
They tried to sell me silk pyjamas too.
I said: "Though I might admire 'em,
I don't think I shall require 'em.
I'm the husband of the wife of Mister Wu."

Then a girl said: "I intend to marry you.
Of little chinks we'll soon have twenty-two."
I said: "That's a proposition,
But I'm no Chinese magician.
I'm the husband of the wife of Mister Wu."
