lyrics to a ditty

Three Old Ladies

Oh, dear, what can the matter be
Three old ladies locked in the lavatory
They were there from Monday to Saturday
Nobody knew they were there

The first one's name was Elizabeth Porter
She went in to be rid of some overdue water
And she stayed there far more than she ought to
And nobody knew she was there.

CHORUS

The second one's name was Elizabeth Pomphrey
She went in and made herself comfy
Then she said: "Girls, I can't get my bum free."
And nobody knew she was there

CHORUS

The last one's name was Elizabeth Carter
She was known as a world renowned farter
She went in and played a sonata
And nobody knew she was there.

CHORUS

Google is your friend.

"Seven Old Ladies"

The first to go in was old Mrs. Flynn,
She prided herself on being so thin,
But when she sat down, she fell right in,
And nobody knew she was there.

The next to go in was old Mrs. Humphrey,
When she sat down, she got cozy and comfy,
But when she stood up she couldn't get her bum free,
And nobody knew she was there.

The next to go in was old Mrs. Brewstter,
Who I couldn't see as good as she used to,
When she sat down, she swore somebody goosed her,
And nobody knew she was there.

The next to go in was old Mrs. Fender
who went in to fix a broken suspender,
It snapped and injured her feminine gender
And nobody knew she was there.

The next to go in was old Mrs. Draper
Who couldn't find the toilet paper,
All she could find was a rust paint scraper,
And nobody knew she was there.

The next to go in was old Mrs. Murray,
who had to go in a hell of a hurry,
When she got there, there was no need to worry,
And nobody knew she was there.

The last to go in was old Mrs. Mason
There wasn't a place, so she went in the basin,
And that's the one that I washed my face in,
And nobody knew she was there.

Hi there. I hope one of you out there can help me. I remember only
the first verse of a silly little ditty my father used to sing to me
Oh dear, what can the matter be?
Three old ladies locked in the lavatory.
They were there from Monday through Saturday.
Nobody knew they were there.
The next verse goes on to tell who they are--one is the governor's
wife, etc. I just don't remember any further!
Thanks!

By the way, I just heard this ditty as part of the 1961 movie "A Taste of Honey" sung by children

May I please add my folk pub version, just finished today. I’m very pleased with it and hope you like it. There are as many versions as song writers.

Oh Dear, What can the Matter be

Chorus:
Oh dear what can the matter be
Three old ladies locked in a lavatory
They’ve been there from Monday to Saturday
Nobody knew they were there

Verses:
The first old maid was Judy O’Flanagan
Known for causing many a shenanigan
When she sat down she got stuck in the pan again
Everyone left her stuck there

The second old maid was Shirley St. Clair
She only popped in to brush her long hair
Got comfy on her derrière
And fell asleep in the chair

The third old maid was Gwendoline Carter
She was known as a really good farter
She let one go and it blew off her garter
And shattered the lock on her door
