TRIO
(Mrs. Jones)
You wouldn’t think a married woman
With a grown up daughter
Would be fooling round with men
Like she hadn’t oughta.

(Mrs. Florentino and Mrs. OIsen)
Whatcha think of that,
Whatcha think of that?

(Mrs. J.)
I seen that man meself last week.
He had the gall to stop and speak!
He was comin’ out as I came in.
Good morning, says he,
Putting on a grin.
Good morning, says I,
Looking him in the eye,
As me and my dog
Passed him right on by.

(Mrs. F. and Mrs. O. alternately
And then together)
Ain’t he got a nerve!

(Mrs. F., Mrs. J. and Mrs. O.)
I said to myself:
Now what a disgrace!
And both of ‘em are married too.
A woman ought to know her place,
And act like decent women do.
Ain’t she got no shame? (2)
(alternately)
Ain’t she got no shame?

(Mrs. F. and Mrs. J)
A woman ought to know her place, and
(Mrs. O.) A woman like that one

Act like decent wo-men do!
A woman like that!

(all) ts ts ts ts ts! (2)

(alternately) Get a load of that!

QUARTET
(Mrs. F., Mrs. J., Jones, Olsen alternately)
Get a load of that!

(Mrs. J.)
Lookin’ out for Willie!
Didja hear her say?
Who’s she think she’s foolin’,
Goin’ off that way?

(all) She must think we’re dumb! (2)

(Mrs. J.)
He just strolled by for some ginger ale!

(Jones)
Hey, ain’t that a whale of a tale!

(Mrs. J.)
“Good evening, folks!” like on the radio.

(Mrs. F.)
Do you think maybe Maurrant might know?

(Mrs. J.)
Well, men don’t seem to have any eyes,
And the husband is always the last to get wise.

(Women alternately, then Men together)
Wait till he finds out!

(all) I’d hate to be in Sankey’s shoes
When somebody tells Maurrant the news.
No man who’s a man will stand for that
And live with a wife who’s an alley cat!
Betcha life on that! (2)
(Women and Olsen alternately)
Betcha life on that!

(Women and Jones) No man who’s a man will
(Olsen) It’s aw- ful!

Stand for that and live with a wife who’s an
It’s dreadful! A wo – man

Al-ley cat. Women: Tch tch tch tch tch(2), tch tch tch!
Like that! Men: Tch tch tch (3)
