GUEST,mrsmac Lyr Req: The Missus Her Mother the Bulldog and Me (6) Lyr Add: MISSUS, HER MOTHER, THE BULLDOG AND ME 15 Mar 08


Hi,

I got this from the singing of John Kennedy, some of the words might not be perfect but I hope this helps:

Some people are known by the company they keep.
If a man takes the flu, it doesn't mean he's a sweep.
I'm always seen out with my own family.
That's the missus, her mother, the bulldog and me.
We're all quite homely. Don't think it a boast.
Just see us on Sunday when we're at a roast.
You cannae tell who's growling the most,
The missus, her mother, the bulldog or me.

Now, when we went a-courting, we had such a lark!
Each evening we'd go for a stroll in the park
And sit there for hours 'neath some shady tree,
The missus her mother the bulldog and me.
We'd sit there as peaceful as peaceful could be,
And the birds up above sang their sweet melody,
But then they'd start dropping things down from the tree
On the missus, her mother, the bulldog and me.

Well, we went and got wed as most couples have done,
And we found three could live just as cheaply as one.
The registrar said, "Who'll stand security?"
"Oh," says I, "the wife's mother, the bulldog and me."
But the night we were wed we'd to part company.
There was only one bed and it wouldn't hold three;
But we soon got over that difficulty.
The wife slept with her mother and the bulldog with me.

We had photographs taken as newlyweds do.
You'd have seen nothing like it inside any zoo.
We stood in a group and we smiled gracefully,
The missus, her mother, the bulldog and me.
The photos were lovely. There wasn't a hitch.
You could easily tell that the dog was a ... pup,
But you'd have had to look closely if you'd wanted to see
Who was the missus, her mother, the bulldog or me.

Ten years have elapsed since I wed Mary Ann,
And I've finally proved that I'm really a man,
For inside the bedroom stood oul nurse Magee,
And outside the door stood the bulldog and me.
The nurse she came out all smiling with glee.
Says I, "What is it, nurse?" "Oh," she answered. "It's three.
Could you tell me who caused all this anxiety?"
"Oh," says I, "the wife's mother, the bulldog and me."
