lirik lagu joyce grenfell - the example
john henderson, an unbeliever
had lately lost his joie de vivre
from reading far too many books
he went around with gloomy looks
despair inhabited his breast
and made the man a perfect pest
not so his sister, mary lunn
she had a whacking lot of fun
though unbelieving as a beast
she didn’t worry in the least
but drank as hard as she was able
and sung and danced upon the table;
and when she met her brother jack
she used to smack him on the back
so smartly as to make him jump
and cry, “what ho! you’ve got the hump!”
a phrase which more than any other
was gall and wormwood to her brother
for, having an agnostic mind
he was exceedingly refined
the christians, a declining band
would point with monitory hand
to henderson his desperation
to mary lunn her dissipation
and often mutter, “mark my words!
something will happen to those birds!”
which came to pass, for mary lunn
died suddenly at ninety~one
of psittacosis, not before
becoming an appalling bore
while henderson, i’m glad to state
though naturally celibate
married an intellectual wife
who made him lead the higher life
and wouldn’t give him any wine
whereby he fell in a decline
and at the time of writing this
is suffering from paralysis
the which, we hear with no surprise
will shortly end in his demise
the moral is (it is indeed!)
you mustn’t monkey with the creed
