05 Mar 23 - 06:29 AM (#4166930) Subject: Lyr Add: Don't Have any more Mrs Moore From: Monologue John DON'T HAVE ANY MORE MISSUS MOORE Written and composed by Harry Castling & James Walsh Performed by Lily Morris (1882-1952) Missus Moore, who lives next door, she's such a dear old soul Of children she's a score or more, her husband's on the dole I don't know how she manages to keep that lot I'm sure I said to her today as she was standing at the door. Chorus: Don't have any more Missus Moore Missus Moore, please don't have any more The more you have the more you want, they say But enough is a good as a feast any day If you have many more Missus Moore You'll have to rent the house next door They're alright when they're here But take my advice old dear Don't have any more Missus Moore. The local Inn she uses is called the wooden hut She's first one in at opening time, and last out when they shut And when she's had a few, its true, she can't go very far And you can hear them singing this to her across the bar. Chorus: Don't have any more Missus Moore Missus Moore, please don't have any more The more you have the more you want, they say But enough is a good as a feast any day If you have many more Missus Moore You'll never get to your street door Too many double gins gives the ladies double chins So don't have any more Missus Moore. She's had no end of husbands that in love with her have fell And this one is her seventh one and he don't look too well She married him a year ago and on their wedding day As they were walking down the isle I heard the parson say. Chorus: Don't have any more Missus Moore Missus Moore, please don't have any more The more you have the more you want, they say But enough is a good as a feast any day If you have many more Missus Moore I don't know what we'll do I'm sure Our churchyard is so small they'll be no room for them at all So don't have any more Missus Moore. |
