Mrs. Grundy 1909 'Old Dutch'

James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 30 Jan 2004

[Mrs. von Bomberg:] The Goblin of Society
is queer old Mrs. Grundy,
she starts to talk on Monday morn
and never stops 'til Sunday.
She has an ear attuned to hear
the latest bit of scandal,
and without gloves she dearly loves
one's character to handle.

Oh girls be good, be good I say,
whatever else you do,
for Mrs. Grundy's eagle glance
is ever fixed on you!
Oh girls, be good, be good I say,
don't roll your eyes about,
for Mrs. Grundy's looking,
and she'll get you if you don't watch out.

Oh girls be good, be good I say,
whatever else you do,
for Mrs. Grundy's eagle glance
is ever fixed on you!
Oh girls, be good, be good I say,
don't roll your eyes about,
for Mrs. Grundy's looking,
and she'll get you if you don't watch out.

[Mrs. von Bomberg:] Old Mrs. Grundy
loves to make a mountain from a molehill!
The way she talks of widows,
why t'would simply make your soul ill!
If at a handsome man I smile,
my woman's right asserting,
straightway old Mrs. Grundy
will declare that I am flirting.

Oh girls be good, be good I say,
whatever else you do,
for Mrs. Grundy's eagle glance
is ever fixed on you!
Oh girls, be good, be good I say,
don't roll your eyes about,
for Mrs. Grundy's looking,
and she'll get you if you don't watch out.

Oh girls be good, be good I say,
whatever else you do,
for Mrs. Grundy's eagle glance
is ever fixed on you!
Oh girls, be good, be good I say,
don't roll your eyes about,
for Mrs. Grundy's looking,
and she'll get you if you don't watch out.
