G7Hello Mrs Murphy,
That's a lovely dress you're Bbwearing, is it G7new?
Why, thank you Mr Wilson 
But I've had that same old Bbdress about a G7year or two 
D#Upstairs in bed, the tall boy stD#maj7retched just like a cFat
Put his D#hands behind his head and lay there thD#maj7inking of a drFeam that he haG7d 
I hear that the Johnsons had a baby, Mrs Murphy 
Is that true 
Why yes, but it's rumoured that the little tot's real daddy 
Lives in twenty-two
In twenty-two, the boy lay whistling out of tune fighting on the seas 
Dreaming of a thousand things he'd like to be 
Poor Mr Johnson 
Being married to a wife who should be caged 
It's the child who will suffer 
And to think that young man is less than half her age 
Upstairs he sits, he hears a knock, and nothing more 
Come on in, you're late Well, don't just stand there Mrs. Johnson close the door

Upstairs in bed, the tall boy stretched just like a cat

D# D#maj7 F G7

Put his hands behind his head and lay there thinking of a dream that he had

I hear that the Johnsons had a baby, Mrs Murphy

Is that true

Why yes, but it's rumoured that the little tot's real daddy

Lives in twenty-two

In twenty-two, the boy lay whistling out of tune fighting on the seas

Dreaming of a thousand things he'd like to be

Poor Mr Johnson

Being married to a wife who should be caged

Upstairs he sits, he hears a knock, and nothing more

Come on in, you're late Well, don't just stand there Mrs. Johnson close the door
