Stick It On The Wall Mrs Riley 1950

Mrs. Riley wears a fur
that really is a sight,
A cross between a doormat
and a cat that's lost a fight.
She wears it summer, autumn, spring,
when ever she goes out.
And when she's walking down the street
you'll hear the neighbours shout.

Stick it on the wall Mrs. Riley
Don't you think you've had it long enough.
Stick it in the fire Mrs. Riley
There comes an end to ev'ry bit of fluff.
It's made a meal for ev'ry moth
that's fluttered round the town.
It's worn and torn
and all forelorn,
it's time you laid it down, So!
Stick it on the wall Mrs. Riley
the poor old thing
is getting much too rough
I mean your bit of beaver Mrs. Riley
enough's enough for any old bit of stuff.

Stick it on the wall Mrs. Riley
Don't you think you've had it long enough.
Stick it in the fire Mrs. Riley
There comes an end to ev'ry bit of fluff.
It's made a meal for ev'ry moth
that's fluttered round the town.
It's worn and torn
and all forelorn,
it's time you laid it down, So!
Stick it on the wall Mrs. Riley
the poor old thing
is getting much too rough
I mean your bit of beaver Mrs. Riley
enough's enough for any old bit of stuff.
