Henry Oh Henry 1912

I tell you what,
I'm sick of gettin' lickin's ev'ry day
and if it don't stop pretty soon
I'm goin' to run away
when when I don't do anything
some kid is sure to tell
and then the whole crowd gathers round
they like to hear me yell.
No matter where I hide myself
they're sure to find me out
and then, a kind a spiteful,
like, they shout:

Henry! Oh Henry!
Your mother is looking for you.
You'd better go quick
'cause she's got a big stick
and Ooo! what she's going to do Ooo!
She says: Get ready,
you're going away
up in the attic the rest of the day
Henry! Oh Henry!
Your Ma wants you.

Henry! Oh Henry!
Your mother is looking for you.
You'd better go quick
'cause she's got a big stick
and Ooo! what she's going to do Ooo!
She says: Get ready,
you're going away
up in the attic the rest of the day
Henry! Oh Henry!
Your Ma wants you.

My Ma is always saying
that she isn't feeling well,
and sometimes when I'm very bad,
she has a fainting spell,
but when she starts at me,
Oh Gee! she pounds so hard and long
I hate to think what she would do
if she were really strong.
If I just knew some place to go
you bet I'd run away
I'm gettin' sick of hearin' people say:

Henry! Oh Henry!
Your mother is looking for you.
You'd better go quick
'cause she's got a big stick
and Ooo! what she's going to do Ooo!
She says: Get ready,
you're going away
up in the attic the rest of the day
Henry! Oh Henry!
Your Ma wants you.

Henry! Oh Henry!
Your mother is looking for you.
You'd better go quick
'cause she's got a big stick
and Ooo! what she's going to do Ooo!
She says: Get ready,
you're going away
up in the attic the rest of the day
Henry! Oh Henry!
Your Ma wants you.
