Yeastcake Jones Stan Rogers

When the Joneses first were married
In the days before the war
Times were good and things were half the price they are today
His missus ran to meet him
When she heard him at the door
And this is what the neighbors heard them say

I've been so very lonesome
All the time you were away
With just the cat to talk to and I have so much to say
Then she would call him darling one
And he would murmur "Hun"
While she coyly held her hand out for the mun

But this did not continue long
For when the baby came
Suddenly poor Jones was left entirely in the cold
And walking the Linoleum
Soon got him pretty tame
He did exactly just as he was told

He felt so very lonesome
Pacing up and down the floor
And wished he wasn't married and a bachelor once more
But when she called him "Daddy"
He would proudly answer "Mum"
And hand across the cherished weekly sum
