Our Lodger's Such A Nice Young Man
Performer(s): Vesta Victoria



At our house not long ago a lodger came to stay
At first I felt as if I'd like to drive him right away
But soon he proved himself to be so very good and kind
That, like my dear mamma, I quite made up my little mind

He made himself at home before he'd been with us a day
He kissed mamma and all of us, 'cos papa was away
Before he goes to work he lights the fires and scrubs the floor
And puts a nice strong cup of tea outside ma's bedroom door

At night he makes the beds and does the other little jobs
And if the baby hurts itself he really cries and sobs
On Sunday when ma's cooking and papa is at the club
He takes the kids and baths us all inside the washing tub

We usually go to Margate, in the sea to have a splash
This year Pa said, "I'm busy!" but I think he had no cash
The lodger took us down instead, mamma and baby too
And never charged Pa anything- now there's a pal for you!

Our lodger's such a nice young man, such a good young man is he
So good, so kind, to all our family!
He's never going to leave us 
Oh dear, oh dear no!
He's such a good, goody, goody man
Mamma told me so
