[Verse 1]
Em A D Bm In the boarding house I lived in Em A D Everything was growing old F#7 Bm Silver threads among the butter E A7 And the cheese was green with mold Em A D Bm When the dog died we had sausages Em A D When the cat died catnip tea F#7 Bm When the landlord died I left there E A7 Spare ribs were too much for me
[Chorus]
D Em Oh my dear Missus Crandall A7 D I think I like you a lot F#7 Bm I lived in your house quiet as a mouse Em G A7 Some day you'll be caught
[Verse 2]
Em A D Bm Well girls can never change their nature Em A D It is quite beyond their reach F#7 Bm Missus Crandall is a lemon E A7 She can never be a peach Em A D Bm But the law of compensation Em A D Is the one I always preach F#7 Bm You can always squeeze a lemon E A7 Have you tried to squeeze a peach
[Chorus]
D Em Oh my dear Missus Crandall A7 D I think I like you a lot F#7 Bm I lived in your house quiet as a mouse Em G A7 Some day you'll be caught
[Verse 3]
Em A D Bm The train was standing at the station Em A D I was rushing full of care F#7 Bm When I tripped on her cat and I stumbled E A7 And fell headlong down the stairs Em A D Bm Missus Crandall came up to me Em A D "Did you miss a step, me son" F#7 Bm "No," I says, "me dear landlady E A7 I hit every bloomin' one"
[Chorus]
D Em Oh my dear Missus Crandall A7 D I think I like you a lot F#7 Bm I lived in your house quiet as a mouse Em G A7 Some day you'll be caught
