Ive Gone And Lost My Little Yo-Yo Composer(s): Fred Shuff; Walter Kemp Performer(s): Billy Cotton
Hello old chap, youre looking miserable
Alan: So would you be miserable
Im sad and disappointed Im as sore as I can be When the missus finds whats happened Shell be more upset than me Therell be no peace for me at home Its sure to cause some strife Ive lost the only thing that seemed To charm our married life
I had it when I left the house at half past ten I had it in my hand alright I showed it to a woman at the corner, then It filled her with delight The wife will want to play with it When I get home But I cant find it, oh no It means well have to part Its sure to break her heart When she finds Ive gone and lost My little yo-yo
I did all kind of tricks with it Could trail it on the ground I could swing it up and swing it down And swing it round and round Ill have to get another one No matter what it costs It may not please the missus Like the one Ive gone and lost
I had it when I left the house at half past ten I had it in my hand alright I showed it to a woman at the corner, then It filled her with delight The wife will want to play with it When I get home But I cant find it, oh no Sherll take the only course And sue for a divorce When she finds Ive gone and lost My little yo-yo
I showed it to Matilda Shes the barmaid at the Crown I taught her how to play with it And swing it up and down It fairly took her fancy Prhaps shes stolen it from me I dare not tell the wife In case it causes jealousy
I had it when I left the house at half past ten I had it in my hand alright I showed it to a woman at the corner, then It filled her with delight The wife will want to play with it When I get home But I cant find it, oh no Shell miss it, theres no doubt Shes sure to throw me out When she finds Ive gone and lost My little yo-yo
