Don't Have Any More, Mrs. Moore

Don't Have Any More, Mrs. Moore - Lily Morris

Mrs Moore who lives next door

Is such a dear old soul

Of children she has a score

And a husband on the dole

I don't know how she manages to keep that lot I'm sure

I said to her today as she was standing at the door;

"Don't have any more Mrs Moore

Mrs Moore please don't have any more

The more you have the more you'll want they say

You And enough is as good as a feast any day

If you have any more Mrs Moore

You'll have to take the house next door

They're alright when they're here

But take my advice old dear

Don't have any more Mrs Moore "

The little inn she uses is called The Wooden Hut

She's first one in at opening time and last out when they shut

And when she's had a few she tries to do the lah-de-dah'

And gets so ratty when they shout at her acroos the bar;

"Don't have any more Mrs Moore

Mrs Moore please don't have any more

The more you have the more you'll want they say

You And enough is as good as a feast any day

If you have any more Mrs Moore

You'll never get to your street door

Too many double gins

Give the ladies double chins

Don't have any more Mrs Moore "

She's had a lot of husbands who in love with her have fell

This one is the seventh one and he don't look too well

A year ago she married him and on their weddind day

As they were walking down the aisle I heard the parson say;

"Don't have any more Mrs Moore

Mrs Moore please don't have any more

The more you have the more you'll want they say

You And enough is as good as a feast any day

If you have any more Mrs Moore

I don't know what we'll do I'm sure

Our cemetery's so small

There'll be no room for them all

Don't have any more Mrs Moore "

"Don't have any more Mrs Moore

Mrs Moore please don't have any more

The more you have the more you'll want they say

You And enough is as good as a feast any day

If you have any more Mrs Moore

I don't know what we'll do I'm sure

Our cemetery's so small

There'll be no room for them all

Don't have any more Mrs Moore "
