She's Coming Home Tonight 1911 Billy Williams

At the house at Twenty two
there's a nice old hullabaloo,
whilst his wife has been away
Mister Brown's been rather gay,
with their pretty servant girl
"Affection" he has shown,
and she's vowed to tell his wife,
as soon as she comes home.

And she's coming home tonight,
coming home tonight,
soon he'll be rueing
things he's been doing,
Everywhere he goes
he sees the old red light,
for Misses Brown
is coming home tonight.

And she's coming home tonight,
coming home tonight,
soon he'll be rueing
things he's been doing,
Everywhere he goes
he sees the old red light,
for Misses Brown
is coming home tonight.

At the house at twenty two
Mr. Brown is in such a stew,
Brown, the servants fairly scared;
and she says she won't be squared,
she's refused the box of chocolates
Brown bought her and swears
she'll tell mistress how he tried to
squeeze her on the stairs.

And she's coming home tonight,
coming home tonight,
soon he'll be rueing
things he's been doing,
and Mister brown goes
through the hoop tonight,
all hands on deck
there's going to be a fight.

And she's coming home tonight,
coming home tonight,
soon he'll be rueing
things he's been doing,
and Mister Brown goes
through the hoop tonight,
all hands on deck
there's going to be a fight.

Mrs. Brown will get a shock
when she learns that he's pawned the clock,
when she hears that he's been tight
and been staying out all night,
Mary Jane she says she found him
sleeping on the floor,
dressed up in a lady's hat,
she's locked that in the drawer.

And she's coming home tonight,
coming home tonight,
soon he'll be rueing
things he's been doing,
Everywhere he goes
he sees the old red light,
and Mister Brown will
get no sleep tonight.

And she's coming home tonight,
coming home tonight,
soon he'll be rueing
things he's been doing,
Everywhere he goes
he sees the old red light,
and Mister Brown will
get no sleep tonight.

Now the house is calm and still,
Mister Brown looks dreadfully ill,
though he's pleaded fairy tales,
Mary Jane's as hard as nails.
she's made up her mind
to tell his wifey everything,
and she's going to show her
where Brown tore her apron string.

And she's coming home tonight,
coming home tonight,
soon he'll be rueing
things he's been doing,
Everywhere he goes
he sees the old red light,
and Misses Brown will
want a wig tonight.

And she's coming home tonight,
coming home tonight,
soon he'll be rueing
things he's been doing,
Everywhere he goes
he sees the old red light,
and Misses Brown will
want a wig tonight.
