Lyrics

I ought to think myself a lucky girl, I know
'Cause I'm engaged, but still somehow I don't think so
John, that's the name of my fiance, you see
There's no mistake, he's very fond of me
He took me out for walks, and oh he was so nice
Always used to kiss me on the same place twice
Often in the park, we would sit and spoon
And I was oh so happy 'til the other afternoon
John took me 'round to see his mother, his mother, his mother
And while he introduced us to each other
She weighed up ev'rything that I had on
She put me through a cross examination
I fairly boiled with aggravation
Then she shook her head, looked at me and said
"Poor John, poor John."
John took me 'round to see his mother, his mother, his mother
And while he introduced us to each other
She weighed up ev'rything that I had on
She put me through a cross examination
I fairly boiled with aggravation
Then she shook her head, looked at me and said
"Poor John, poor John."
