[1st verse:]
|
Henpeck O'Johnson and Henpeck O'Day
|
Made an appointment with Molly and May
|
Soon they were calling their wives on the phone
|
"Don't cook my supper for I won't be home"
|
Then in a "Taxi" to some swell Cafe
|
They rode away to meet Molly and May
|
Waited and waited, grew intoxicated
|
O'Johnson then sang to O'Day
|
|
[Refrain:]
|
Someone's waiting for me
|
Someone's waiting for you
|
I'm waiting and you're waiting and wifey's waiting too
|
Are we down-hearted? No!
|
We have plenty of dough
|
WHAT! Go home to wifey?
|
Well, not on your lifey
|
We'll wait
|
Wait
|
Wait
|
|
[2nd verse:]
|
While they were waiting, a waiter named Binks
|
Waited for tips while they waited for drinks
|
Manhattan Cocktails and Highballs galore
|
Three extra waiters were put on the floor
|
Music was playing "I'm coming home soon"
|
O'Day was praying for some other tune
|
Hours were flying, still they kept on buying
|
O'Johnson was crying again
|
|
[3rd verse:]
|
Missus O'Johnson and Missus O'Day
|
Happened to stroll in the same swell Cafe
|
They had grown tired of waiting at home
|
Went out and left both their flats all alone
|
Soon from a corner a voice hollered loud
|
"Give us another and treat the whole crowd"
|
Just then somebody broke up the whole party
|
'Twas Molly and sweet little May
|
