Mr Come Lately
with Mrs Came Late
they went to theatre
they're typically late
the curtain was half raised
the plot took a twist
and Mr Come Lately just stared at his wrist
these whom I speak of are my friends
gentlemen and gentlewomen
can't wait for their lives to begin
oh so exciting then
the Goose and the Raisin
were painting the town
their quips and their banter
intensely profound
the radio spoon fed them ditties to hum
the Goose and the Raisin just couldn't have fun
these whom I speak of are my friends
gentlemen and gentlewomen
can't wait for their lives to begin
oh so exciting then
I've waited and waited
for a youth of my own
my hair used to black
it's white as a bone
these whom I speak of are my friends
gentlemen and gentlewomen
can't wait for their lives to begin
oh so exciting then
