My dad used to sing a lot of different songs that came out of WWII.
Not sure if this was one of these songs or not .... but it has been stuck in my head for days now .... I only remember the words to the Chorus .... but when I found this on line and started reading .... it all came back to me .... I have to share ....
Chorus:
Oh, dear! What can the matter be?
Seven old ladies locked in the lavatory!
They were in there from Sunday to Saturday
Nobody knew they were there.
The first old lady was Elizabeth Porter.
She was the
deacon of
Dorchester's daughter.
She went to relieve a slight
pressure of water
And nobody knew she was there.
Chorus
The second old lady was Abigail Splatter
She went there `cause something was surely the matter
But when she got there, it was only her
bladder.
And nobody knew she was there.
Chorus
The third old lady was old Mrs. Bickle.
Her
urge was sincere, her reaction was
fickle.
She hurdled the door; she'd forgotten her
nickel And nobody knew she was there.
Chorus
The fourth old lady was Hildegard Folye.
She hadn't been living
according to Hoyle.
Was relieved when the swelling was only a
boil And nobody knew she was there.
Chorus
The fifth old lady was Emily Clancy.
She went there `cause something tickled her fancy.
But when she got there it was
ants in her pantsy And nobody knew she was there.
Chorus
The sixth old lady was extremely
fertile.
Her name was O'Connor, the boys called her
Myrtle.
She went there to repair a slight hole in her
girdle And nobody knew she was there.
Chorus
The seventh old lady was Elizabeth Bender.
She went there to repair a broken
suspender.
It snapped up and ruined her feminine
gender And nobody knew she was there.
Chorus
Now this song actually goes on forever cause people just kept making up names and rhyming away .... so if you are interested in some of the other funny verses here is the link:

Peace. J.
