I Got It From Agnes 1953 Tom Lehrer

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 15 Nov 2002

I love my friends, and they love me,
we're just as close as we can be.
And just because we really care,
what ever we get, we share!

I got it from Agnes, she got it from Jim,
we all agree it must have been Louise
who gave it to him.
Now she got it from Harry,
who got it from Marie,
and ev'rybody knows that Marie
got it from me.

Giles got it from Daphne,
she got it from Joan,
who picked it up in County Cork,
akissin' the Blarney Stone.
Pierre gave it to Sheila,
who must have caught it there.
He got it from François and Jacques,
Aha, Lucky Pierre!

But Max got it from Edith,
who gets it every spring.
She got it from her daddy,
who just gives her everything.
She then gave it to Daniel,
whose spaniel has it now.
Our dentist even got it,
and we're still wondering how.

I got it from Agnes, or maybe it was Sue,
or Millie or Billie or Gillie or Willie,
it doesn't matter who.
It might have been at the pub,
or at the club, or in the loo,
and if you will be my friend,
then I might....
(Mind you, I said "might")...

[looks around audience,
finally chooses someone,
grins, point to him or her
and says:]
Give it to you!
