'Twas on the shores that round our coast	A
From Deal to Newport lie	B
That I roused from sleep in a huddled heap	C
An elderly wealthy guy	B
	-
His hair was graying his hair was long	D
And graying and long was he	E
And I heard this grouch on the shore avouch	F
In a singular jazzless key	E
	-
Oh I am a cook and a waitress trim	G
And a maid of the second floor	H
And a strong chauffeur and a housekeeper	I
And the man who tends the door	H
	-
And he shook his fists and he tore his hair	J
And he started to frisk and play	K
Till I couldn't help thinking the man had been drinking	L
So I said in the Gilbert way	K
	-
Oh elderly man I don't know much	F
Of the ways of societee	A
But I'll eat my friend if I comprehend	A
However you can be	E
	-
At once a cook and a waitress trim	G
And the maid of the second floor	H
And a strong chauffeur and a housekeeper	I
And the man who tends the door	H
	-
Then he smooths his hair with a nervous air	J
And a gulp in his throat he swallows	M
And that elderly guy he then lets fly	B
Substantially as follows	M
	-
We had a house down Newport way	K
And we led a simple life	N
There was only I said the elderly guy	B
And my daughter and my wife	N
	-
And of course the cook and a waitress trim	G
And the maid of the second floor	H
And a strong chauffeur and a housekeeper	I
And the man who tends the door	H
	-
One day the cook she up and left	A
She up and left us flat	A
She was getting a hundred and ten a mon	O
Th but she couldn't work for that	A
	-
And the waitress trim was her bosom friend	A
And she wouldn't stay no more	H
And our strong chauffeur eloped with her	I
Who was the maid of the second floor	H
	-
And we couldn't get no other help	P
So I had to cook and wait	A
It was quite absurd wept the elderly bird	A
I deserve a better fate	A
	-
And I drove the car and I made the beds	Q
Till the housekeeper up and quit	A
And the man at the door found that a bore	H
Which is why I am to wit	A
	-
At once a cook and a waitress trim	G
And the maid of the second floor	H
And a strong chauffeur and a housekeeper	I
And the man who tends the door	H
