"Tabatha Twitchit" lyrics

I once knew a lady
A little old lady
Before I started to grow
She'd tea ev'ry Sunday
Was up on a Monday
Though she had no place to go

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

She had a greyblue
We all 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

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

Old fashioned lace
Around the face of that lady
Old fashioned grace
She meant the world to me

I once knew a lady
A sweet, little lady
By then I started to grow
We cried on a Sunday
I left on a Monday
Where she is now I don't know

So I lost my Tabatha Twitchit
Is it right? What I'm tellin' you now
Yes, I lost my Tabatha Twitchit
Is it right? Yes, it is 'cause I know
