Mistress Mabel seriously wrong   Clears my table badly then she's gone   Takes a liberty if you let her   Yes, she's old but she should know better   Oh dear Mabel, please don't put me on      Mistress Mabel all the kids agree   You're unstable curious and free   Wind them down and then keep them kickin'   Sunken eyed and all panic stricken   Oh dear Mabel, it still worries me      Hemline rat bag so they told her   Last nights name tag across her shoulder      And tell me where all the days have gone   When you rocked my cradle, tell me Mabel   Where'd you go when you can't go on   With this filthy fable, tell me Mabel      Mistress Mabel won't you marry me?   I'm unable to take it seriously   I'll be good and you'll be a minute   I wish you would or I'll drop you in it   Oh dear Mabel won't you marry me?      Hemline rat bag so they told her   Last nights name tag across her shoulder      And tell me where all the days have gone   When you rocked my cradle, tell me Mabel   Where'd you go when you can't go on   With this filthy fable, tell me Mabel      Tell me where all the days have gone   When you rocked my cradle, tell me Mabel   Where'd you go when you can't go on   With this filthy fable, tell me Mabel      Tell me where all the days have gone   When you rocked my cradle, tell me Mabel   Where'd you go when you can't go on   With this filthy fable, tell me Mabel, tell me Mabel
