Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Oh, RTF, girl
Are you stone?
Let me be your China gnome
Play me on your gramophone
Bury me in your garden
[Verse 2]
Not today, thanks
Mr Longshanks
I have other fish to fry
To fry
To fry
Fry
[Verse 3]
Oh mother, don't do it again
Oh mother, don't do it again
Oh mother, don't do it again
Oh mother, don't do it again
[Verse 4]
The man in the parlor
The man in the parlor
The man in the parlor
The man in the parlor
[Verse 5]
You know what he's after
You know what he's after
You know what he's after
You know what he's after
[Verse 6]
Your bum-tiddle-bum-pomp-idoo
How's your father and what are you doing?
[Verse 7]
Oh mother, don't do it again
Oh mother, don't do it again
Oh mother, don't do it again
Oh mother, don't do it again
[Verse 8]
The man in the parlor
The man in the parlor
The man in the parlor
The man in the parlor
[Verse 9]
You know what he's after
You know what he's after
You know what he's after
You know what he's after
[Verse 10]
Your bum-tiddle-bum-pomp-idoo
How's your father and mind how you go
