[Verse 1]
Miss CFudge is only Bmwaiting for a Emman to come her E7way
She has been Amwaiting eighty E7years for Mr AmMaple
But he E7doesn't know that Amshe is waiting E7too
It's nothing new
Mister CMaple gets up Bmearly every Emmorning
Cooks his E7breakfast all aAmlone the house is E7cold
He needs a Amwoman's hand to E7comfort him in Amhis reclining E7years
He overhears
[Bridge]
The Cpeople on the Fstreet they pass him Cby and sort of Fsnicker
CIn his younger Fyears he should have Cbeen a little Fquicker
For Din the hand of Gsomeone he could Dlove but who's to Gjudge
If he'll Dever have a Gmeeting with Miss F#7Fudge

[Verse 2]
Miss CFudge's hopes were Bmfading that a Emman would come her E7way
She had been Amdarning no one's E7socks
And when the Amyears crept up her E7misery 
Just Amslowly pushed her E7on
And now she's gone
Mister CMaple's life aBmlone was just too Emmuch for him to E7bear
And in his Amheart he knew that E7there would never Ambe
a someone E7magical for Amhim at times he E7cried
And then he died
[Outro]
But Ceverything is Fbetter now, they're Cboth at last toFgether
The Cquestion now is Fanswered for all Cthose who wondered Fwhether
They Deach at last had Gfound a friend and Dif they did misGjudge
Their Dtombstones side by Gside read Maple F#7Fudge
