Oh! Mr. Punch
Composer(s): Harry Hemsley
Performer(s): Harry Hemsley
Oh Mr. Punch you will agree
Calls for a lot of sympathy
He never has a moment's peace
And lives in terror of the police
His baby being extra strong
Keeps him awake the whole night long
His wife nags him, so 'tis said
From early dawn till he's in bed
Oh Mister Punch, Oh Mister Punch
Of trials and troubles you've a bunch,
At breakfast, dinner, supper, lunch,
You never have much leisure.
You're teased, tormented, day and night,
You're set upon, both left and right,
It makes us laugh with all our might,
And gives us heaps of pleasure.
He's full of quips and merry chaff
And loves to make the children laugh
In spite of this the fact remains
He gets a beating for his pains
His enemies have then to learn
In course of time a worm will turn
And soon poor Punch in manner slick
Just sets about them with his stick
Oh Mister Punch, Oh Mister Punch
Of trials and troubles you've a bunch
At breakfast, dinner, supper, lunch
You never have much leisure
You're teased, tormented, day and night
You're set upon, both left and right
It makes us laugh with all our might
And gives us heaps of pleasure
