| SINCE MOTHER BOBBED HER HAIR | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||

At home we're feeling quite perplexed We don't know if we're pleased or vexed And wonder what will happen next Since mother bobbed her hair She now distinctly takes the bun And fellows say, 'You are a one.' Her second time on earth's begun Since mother bobbed her hair. It's troubling I must confess She's altered all her views on dress Each night she's wearing less and less Since mother bobbed her hair Old fashioned dresses make her wild In modern gowns she's always styled We hope the weather continues mild Since mother bobbed her hair. Her colouring is famed afar Complexion fit for any star The local chemist's bought a car Since mother bobbed her hair Our happy home she'll soon disjoint She plays cards a bob a point And mortgages the Sunday joint Since mother bobbed her hair. She's always after cousin Jack His motor-bike is never slack She loves to joy-ride on the back Since mother bobbed her hair She's taken golf up with a rush And when she's in the rough or slush Her language makes the caddies blush Since mother bobbed her hair. Her local fame is quite unique The boys for introduction seek And the curate now calls twice a week Since mother bobbed her hair She spends her nights at dance or rink She's learned a special kind of wink And poor old pa has 'took to drink' Since mother bobbed her hair. |
