Lovers sitting looking shy
As lovers often will
Waiting for that hour of bliss
When all the house was still
That hum-ma-ma went out
La-da-da, da-da-da-di
That hup-pa-pa went out
Da-da-da, da-da-da-di
She had on her mind, stay home
Two of them on their own
Waiting to be,
Hoping to be,
Longing to be...alone
Nobody else about
Da-da-da, da-da-da-di
Then his cigar went out
Da-da-da, da-da-da-di
Even the fire went out
But when the lights went out
Da-da-da,
Da-da-da, da-da-da-di
Now your Mama's gone out
Oh d-d-d-darling
And your Papa's gone out
Oh d-d-d-dearest
Why they're all out
Oh, dash it!
Here comes your little brother.
Here Johnny, run away and play
And I'll give you a shilling!
I don't want the shilling.
Well, here's two shillings
If you'll only run away and play.
No, I don't want two shillings.
Oh dash it! Well here's half a crown then.
I don't want the half crown.
Confounded! Oh, what do you want then?
I wanna watch.
Oh, you wanna watch?
Well here, take mine...chain and all,
And there's five shillings to go with it.
La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la-di
