| Notes: | Classic British camp humor. The comedy comes from the buildup - by the time you get to seven old ladies it's a full production. The "oh dear, what a to-do" refrain gets funnier each verse. |
GOh dear, what can the matter be?
D7Dear dear, what can the matter be?
GOh dear, what can the matter be?
D7Nobody came on the Gkey
GOne old lady locked in the lavatory
D7One old lady locked in the lavatory
GOne old lady locked in the lavatory
D7She'd been there since GSaturday
Oh dear, what a to-do!
She said she'd be in there a minute or two
She said she could manage by standing on the seat
But she couldn't get out and she couldn't move her feet
GTwo old ladies locked in the lavatory
D7Two old ladies locked in the lavatory
GTwo old ladies locked in the lavatory
D7They'd been there since GSaturday
(Continue adding one more old lady each verse through seven, making up reasons each time)
GSeven old ladies locked in the lavatory
D7Seven old ladies locked in the lavatory
GSeven old ladies locked in the lavatory
D7They'd been there since GSaturday!
