He Wanted To Go And He Went 1920 'Oui Madame'

James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 05 Jan 2004

Once a town mouse went to stay
with his hayseed country cousin,
there his host fed him on hay,
and on carrots by the dozen.
Said this town mouse with a frown:
"Oh, your billoffare so crude is,
pack your grip and come to town,
and let me show you what food is.

Now we all of us know
that he wanted to go
and he went, he went.
When he said he would go
not a thing that I know
could prevent. He went.
For to refuse seemed a pity,
when he had a show
to economize in rent
so when his friend from the city,
added: "Won't you go?"
He said he would and went.

So this little country mouse
took a flivver to the station,
and that night he reached the house,
of his city chap relation;
down they sat to eat and chat.
And their dinner was perfection,
Till he saw the fam'ly cat.
Looking hard in his direction.

Now we all of us know
that he wanted to go
and he went, he went.
When he said he would go
not a thing that I know
could prevent. He went.
And to his host, seemed a pity,
not to let him know,
what a pleasant time he spent
but when his friend from the city,
hollered: "Must you go?"
He said he must and went.
