I've Gone and Lost My Little Yo-Yo

歌詞

Spoken: Hello old chap, you're looking miserable So would you be miserable Sung I'm sad and disappointed I'm as sore as I can be When the missus finds what's happened She'll be more upset than me There'll be no peace for me at home It's sure to cause some strife I've 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 can't find it, oh no It means we'll have to part It's sure to break her heart When she finds I've 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 I'll have to get another one No matter what it costs It may not please the missus Like the one I've 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 can't find it, oh no Sher'll take the only course And sue for a divorce When she finds I've gone and lost My little yo-yo I showed it to Matilda She's the barmaid at the Crown I taught her how to play with it And swing it up and down It fairly took her fancy Perhaps she's 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 can't find it, oh no She'll miss it, there's no doubt She's sure to throw me out When she finds I've gone and lost My little yo-yo
