1, 2, 3, Owww Mistress Mabel, she's seriously wrong Clears my table, bang and 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 Wine 'em down, and then keep 'em kickin' Sunken eyed and all panic stricken Oh dear Mabel it still worries me Well and like rat bag, so they told her Last night's name tag across her shoulder [Chorus: ] 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 willful 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 wont you marry me? And like rat bag, so they told her Last nights name tag across her shoulder [Chorus: Repeat 3X]
