Here's my transcription from YouTube:


MRS. YOHNSON, TURN ME LOOSE
As sung by "Yogi Yorgesson" (Harry Stewart)

1. Mrs. Johnson's a widow; she's just fifty-three.
For months she's been dreaming of capturing me.
She follows me places; she calls on the phone.
She's full of love and won't leave me alone.

CHORUS: Mrs. Johnson, turn me loose.
Mrs. Johnson, it's no use.
I don't want to get married.
Mrs. Johnson, turn me loose.

2. She's buried four husbands, this loving old hen.
All of them died very tired old men,
But she's full of fire, and my friends all agree,
Her big glassy eyes they are focused on me. CHORUS

3. She watches and waits till I go in a bar,
I order a beer, and I light my cigar.
The bartender winks and I feel like a fool
When old Mrs. Johnson climbs on the next stool. CHORUS

4. She flutters her eyelids and says, "Howdy-do."
She puts on some rouge, and on her it turns blue,
And she looks at me and she breathes heavily.
Ja, when I am near, she just pants constantly. CHORUS

5. She says she'll cook dinner for me in her flat,
But I know that I will get trapped like a rat,
'Cause she'll get us married 'fore I catch my breath,
And like her four husbands, she'll love me to death. CHORUS
