"Well indeed I have, don't you know I have

To me right fol-ooral-addy, well indeed I have"

"Well indeed I did, don't you know I did

To me right fol-ooral-addy, well indeed I did"

She then picked up the frying pan and she began to knock
                                                        F
For to let the servants know, me lads, that I was at me work
        G                     D
"Well indeed I was, don't you know I was
      G               D            G

To me right fol-ooral-addy, well indeed we will"


[VERSE 7:]
                                         F              G

                                                 F
Oh, but such a lovely job as that, I never did before
