And Her Mother Came Too 1921 Ivor Novello - Gosford Park

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 29 Sep 2002

I seem to be the victim
of a cruel jest,
It dogs my footsteps
with the girl I love the best.
She's just the sweetest thing
that I have ever known,
But still we never get
the chance to be alone.

My car will meet her
And her mother comes too!
It's a twoseater
Still her mother comes too!
At Ciro's when I am free,
At dinner, supper or tea,
She loves to shimmy with me
And her mother does too!

We buy her trouseau
And her mother comes too!
Asked not to do so
Still her mother comes too!
She simply can't take a snub,
I go and sulk at the club,
Then have a bath and a rub
And her brother comes too!

We lunch at Maxim's
And her mother comes too!
How large a snack seems
When her mother comes too!
And when they're visiting me,
We finish afternoon tea,
She loves to sit on my knee
And her mother does too!

To golf we started
And her mother came too!
Three bags I carted
When her mother came too!
She fainted just off the tee,
My darling whisper'd to me
"Jack, dear, at last we are free!"
But her mother came to!
