[Verse 1]
I once knew a lady
A little old lady
But then I started to grow
She'd tea on a Sunday
Was up on a Monday
Though she had no place to go
[Chorus]
And her name was Tabatha Twitchit
Is it right what I'm tellin' you now?
Yes, her name was Tabatha Twitchit
Is it right? Yes, it is 'cause I know
[Verse 2]
Now, she had a parrot
We both used to talk to
Anton the Great was his name
And she could depend on
Her great little Anton
Whose picture she hung in a frame
[Chorus]
And he loved Miss Tabatha Twitchit
Is it right what I'm tellin' you now?
Yes, he loved Miss Tabatha Twitchit
Is it right? Yes, it is 'cause I know
[Bridge]
Old-fashioned lace
Around the face of the lady
Old-fashioned grace
She meant the world to me
[Trumpet Solo]
[Verse 1]
I once knew a lady
A sweet little lady
But then I started to grow
She'd tea on a Sunday
Was up on a Monday
Though she had no place to go
[Chorus]
And her name was Tabatha Twitchit
Is it right what I'm tellin' you now?
Yes, her name was Tabatha Twitchit
Is it right? Yes, it is 'cause I know
