In My Little Bottom Drawer lyrics

For years and years I`ve been alone, me, spinster on the shelf
I`m right fed up with spendin` all me money on meself
I`m all prepared for married life, it`s secrets I`ve been taught
And here`s some little odds and ends I`ve been and gone and bought

One bridal gown, one eiderdown
I`ve been savin` `em up since 1894
Got me ribbons and me bows
And there`s these and them and those
All packed up in me little bottom drawer

One baby`s cot, one flower pot
Where I`ve planted a ramblin` rose bush for the door
Got a motto for the wall, it says Heaven Help Us All
All packed up in me little bottom drawer

Got a pianner, under the staircase
And I`m teachin` meself to play the maiden`s prayer
One toilet set, one bassinet
Now I`m waitin` for love to open up the door
Got a set of Priestley`s works and a case of eggs from Turks
All packed up in me little bottom drawer

I`ve answered every advert in the Matrimonial Times
I`ve bought me own confetti and a case of weddin` chimes
At night I count me treausres just to see they haven`t strayed
I`m very patriotic, everyone is British made

One chiffonier, one keg of beer
And some orange and purple lino for the floor
Got a new pyjama set, made of bright red flannellette
All packed up in me little bottom drawer

One persian rug, one china jug
And some beautiful silverware from Woolworth`s stores
With a book by Doctor Pfife, I`m out to be a perfect wife
All packed up in me little bottom drawer

We`ll have a bathroo-oom, a beautiful bathroom
And a lovely bath where we can keep the coals
Horse shoe for luck, bell for the muck
And a President Hooverc1
