Such pleasant company
|
In Mrs. Stately's garden
|
Saltines and jasmine tea
|
In Mrs. Stately's garden
|
|
Did you hear the Miller girl was found by Cooper's Pond
|
(Oh, what a shame, she was so young)
|
There has even been talk of a child
|
(Well, the Millers have always been wild)
|
Poor thing
|
|
A new cake recipe
|
In Mrs. Stately's garden
|
A minor tragedy
|
In Mrs. Stately's garden
|
|
The boy that she'd been seeing went to Watertown
|
She must have thought he'd let her down)
|
Do you think he knows what she has done
|
My boy Roger would never have run)
|
Poor thing
|
|
The ladies fill the chairs
|
In Mrs. Stately's garden
|
A scandal fills the air
|
In Mrs. Stately's garden
|
|
I don't think we should see Marge Miller anymore
|
I know I'm right and that's for sure)
|
You can't mingle with people like that
|
(Get up, Alice, you're crushing my hat)
|
Poor thing
|
|
Lots of activity
|
In Mrs. Stately's garden
|
But there's no sympathy
|
In Mrs. Stately's garden
|
|
Next week they'll come for tea
|
In Mrs. Stately's garden
|
Next week it may be me
|
In Mrs. Stately's garden.
