Old ladies nattering happily they weere at it from Monday to Saturday And nobody knew they were there The first to come in was old Mrs Humphrey She sat down and made herself comfy She revelled in Scandal and she let her tongue free While nobody knew they were there The next to come in was Old Mrs Porter Her favourite topic was stopping her daughter From letting the wrong man lead her to the altar While nobody knew they were there O |

The lyrics you remember differ only trivially from the recorded version. The number of old ladies in the chorus is "three." Old lady number three: The third lady's name was Elizabeth Spender, Who knew all the scandal but liked to pretend ter Not breathe a word except when the three met And nobody knew they were there. Bob Cort performs in Sinatra-swing style "with chorus and orchestra directed by Billy Munn" on Decca LK4301, "Eskimo Nell and Other Barrack Room Ballads." You read that right. |
