Mistress Mabel, seriously wrong
B         E     B                 E
Clears my table badly, then she's gone
B                      E7
Takes a liberty if you let her
B                                 E7
Yeah shes old, but she should know better

Oh dear Mabel, please don't put me on

Mistress Mabel, all the kids agree
B        E       B         E
You're unstable, curiously free
B                                 E7
Wind them down and then keep them kickin'
B                          E7
Sunken eyed and all panic stricken
B       E     B               E
Oh dear Mabel is what worries me

You robbed my cradle, tell me Mabel

With this filthy fable, tell me Mabel

Mistress Mabel, won't you marry me?

I'm unable to take it seriously
B                              E7
I've been good and you'll be a minute
  B                               E7
I wish you would or I'll drop you in it
B       E      B               E
Oh dear Mabel, won't you marry me?

Last night's name-tag, across her shoulder

You robbed my cradle, tell me Mabel
