    I
    Pussy cat, pussy cat where have you been?
    Up to London to see the queen.
    What did you get, a lick of the pan
    What did you say -
    thank you Ma-am
    II
    Two dead men fighting
    Two men blind looking on
    Two cripples running for the police,
    And two dumbies telling them, to hurry on.
    III
    Wallflower, wallflower growing up so high
    All the young ladies are going to die
    Except (put in name) she's the best of them all
