No. 8 - Song - Charlie
| Charlie: | I've got a mother, a perfect dear, I love her more and more ev'ry year, Since she chivvied me as a lad, She's been the very best friend I had. I love mother, Mother loves me, I've known my mother all my life, you see; She's the only one that ever Thought me handsome, brave and clever, So no wonder I love my mother. |
| Ma is a widow and they say, She is to marry again some day; But she's getting so stout I fear, If you want to kiss her you can't get near. I love mother, Mother loves me, But mother weighs eighteen stone or more, you see; Tho' she flirts with Tom and Harry, I'm afraid she'll never marry, For no one can "get round" mother. |
|
| When I'd a fight and they blacked my eye, Poor old mother, how she used to cry! "Be more like your dad," she said, "Never give in till you're nearly dead." I love mother, Mother loves me, I've known my mother all my life, you see; Now they never catch me napping, If it comes to honest scrapping, I've learnt all father's tricks from mother. |
