In My Bottom Drawer |
| For years and years I’ve been alone, me, spinster on the shelf |
| I’m right fed up with spendin' all me money on meself |
| I’m all prepared for married life, it’s secrets I’ve been taught |
| And here’s some little odds and ends I’ve been and gone and bought |
| One bridal gown, one eiderdown |
| I’ve been savin' 'em up since 1894 |
| Got me ribbons and me bows |
| And there’s these and them and those |
| All packed up in me little bottom drawer |
| One baby’s cot, one flower pot |
| Where I’ve planted a ramblin' rose bush for the door |
| Got a motto for the wall, it says Heaven Help Us All |
| All packed up in me little bottom drawer |
| Got a pianner, under the staircase |
| And I’m teachin' meself to play the maiden’s prayer |
| One toilet set, one bassinet |
| Now I’m waitin' for love to open up the door |
| Got a set of Priestley’s works and a case of eggs from Turks |
| All packed up in me little bottom drawer |
| I’ve answered every advert in the Matrimonial Times |
| I’ve bought me own confetti and a case of weddin' chimes |
| At night I count me treausres just to see they haven’t strayed |
| I’m very patriotic, everyone is British made |
| One chiffonier, one keg of beer |
| And some orange and purple lino for the floor |
| Got a new pyjama set, made of bright red flannellette |
| All packed up in me little bottom drawer |
| One persian rug, one china jug |
| And some beautiful silverware from Woolworth’s stores |
| With a book by Doctor Pfife, I’m out to be a perfect wife |
| All packed up in me little bottom drawer |
| We’ll have a bathroo-oom, a beautiful bathroom |
| And a lovely bath where we can keep the coals |
| Horse shoe for luck, bell for the muck |
| And a President Hooverc1 |
