LATE FOR TEA

Here's Auntie all ready and sitting in silk,
With cakes on the table and lots of new milk,
So, Mou-Mou, be quick as a fairy would be,
Pop on a clean pinny, and run down to tea!
For Noel is keeping his eye on the cake,
And after his blessing what havoc he'll make!
So, Mou-Mou, be quick as a fairy would be,
Pop on a clean pinny, and run down to tea!
Dear Baby has given that sweet little nod,
Which her golden head makes when she murmurs ‘Tank God.’
So, Mou-Mou, be quick as a fairy would be,
Pop on a clean pinny, and run down to tea!
