Oh Dear! What Can the Matter Be

 
CHORUS 
Oh dear! What can the matter be, 
Three old maids got stuck in the lavatory, 
They were there from Monday to Saturday, 
And nobody knew they were there.  -or- And nobody seemed to
care. 

The first Old Maid was Elizabeth Bender,
She went in to fix her suspender,
It snapped back, hit her feminine gender, 
And nobody seemed to care.

CHORUS

The second Old Maid was Old Ms. Potter,
She went in to get rid of superfluous water,
She claimed to be the Earl of Chesterfield's Daughter, 
And nobody seemed to care.

CHORUS

The third old maid was old Ms. Humpfrey,
She sat so long she couldn't get her bum free,
She said 'I don't care for I am quite comfy',
And nobody knew she was there -or- And nobody seemed to care.
