Just for mum (and Ted): Our parlor wanted papering, and Pa says it was waste To call a paperhanger in, and so he made some paste. He bought some rolls of paper, got a ladder and a brush And with my mummys nightgown on, at it he made a rush. CHO: When Father papered the parlour You couldnt see him for paste Dabbing it here! dabbing it there! Paste and paper everywhere Mother was stuck to the ceiling The children stuck to the floor I never knew a blooming family So stuck up before. The pattern was blue roses with its leaves red, white, and brown; Hed stuck it wrong way up and now, we all walk upside down. And when he trimmd the edging off the paper with the shears, The cat got underneath it, and dad cut off both its ears. CHORUS Soon dad fell down the stairs and droppd his paperhangers can On little Henrietta sitting there with her young man, The paste stuck them together, as we thought twould be for life, We had to fetch the parson in to make them man and wife. CHORUS Were never going to move away from that house any more For Fathers gone and stuck the chairs and table to the floor, We cant find our piano, though its broad and rather tall, We think that its behind the paper Pa stuck on the wall. CHORUS Now, Fathers sticking in the pub, through treading in the paste, And all the familys so upset, theyve all gone pasty faced. While Pa says, now that Ma has spread the news from north to south, He wishes he had dropped a blob of paste in Mothers mouth.
