I'd like you to meet my last qu^Eeen, Over th^F#ere large as l^Bife, She's been h^Eanging there for ^Aalmost a week, My p^F#oor late w^Bife,

Wh^Eat do think of the colour of her skin, It has the bloom of a r^Aose, You see she b^Eegged me to bring a certain painter in, And for that p^F#icture in her bedroom she would p^Bose,

Well ^Aafter a while he was driving me mad, ^E As you could well understand, ^F# Sitting in there, day after day, With my w^Bife in the palm of his hand,

It was &q^Euot;Madam please do this and Madam please do that", You've never heard such displ^Bay,

But he didn't mind he was taking his time,

It was m^Ce that h^Dad to p^Eay,^B "^E;Oh Madam I think we should take a walk in the woods, You understand it's the l^Bight",

And did I mind, no, I was so kind when they,

Came b^Cack in the m^Diddle of the n^Eight, And I sw^Cear I'll take c^Dare of the p^Eainter,^A oh the p^Eainter,^A

^E Well as you can see it was hard for me, But something has to be d^Aone, She ^Eonly has eyes for him and his lies, and as for m^F#e, Not a glance, not a single ^Bone, My ^Aorders were severe and she disappeared, ^E It really was such a shame, And when they t^F#old me she was dead I broke down and said, "It's t^Bhat painter, it's him, he's to blame,"

With his &q^Euot;Madam please do this and Madam please do that", You've never heard such displ^Bay,

But he didn't mind he was taking his time,

It was m^Ce that h^Dad to p^Eay,^B "^E;Oh Madam I think we should take a walk in the woods, You understand it's the l^Bight",

And did I mind, no, I was so kind when they,

Came b^Cack in the m^Diddle of the n^Eight, And I h^Cope it's the r^Dope for the p^Eainter,^A When he's f^Cound, it's hellb^Dound for the^E painter,^A I'll get that p^Eainter.^A..
