Seven Old Ladies, but this may not be the version you want!

Robin,
Here is the requested song Seven Old Ladies locked in the lavatory.
I am not sure that it should be given to the scouts to sing in its
present form (this is how we sang it in the Fraternity in college). It is
a bit much for Cubs (since you are a wolf leader).
Twenty years latter, I can still sing it, but I have no idea what
tune is used.
THIS IS NOT WHAT WE WOULD CALL A POLITICALLY CORRECT SONG IN
TODAY'S WORLD, but generally that is one of the factors that will
make it more attractive to our youth.
Seven Old Ladies
Chorus:
Oh dear, what can the matter be
Seven old ladies locked in the lavatory,
They were there from Monday 'till Saturday,
And nobody knew they were there.
The first to go in was old Mrs. Flinn
She prided herself on being quite thin.
But when she sat down, the poor dear fell in
And nobody knew she was there.
(Chorus)
The next to go in was old Mrs. Humphrey
She sat right down and felt so comfy,
But when she got up, she couldn't get her rump free,
And nobody knew she was there.
(Chorus)
The next to go in was old Mrs. Fickle
She vaulted the door cause she hadn't a nickel
Caught her foot in the bowl, what a he.. of a pickle
And nobody knew she was there.
(Chorus)
The next to go in was old Mrs. Bender
She had to fix a broken suspender,
It broke and snapped her feminine gender,
And nobody knew she was there.
(Chorus)
The next to go in was old Mrs. Slaughter
She was the Duke of Wellington's daughter,
She had to pass superfluous water,
And nobody knew she was there.
(Chorus)
The next to go in was old Mrs. Murry
She had to get there in a he.. of a hurry,
But when she got in, there was no need to worry,
And nobody knew she was there.
(Chorus)
The last to go in was old Mrs. Brewster
She couldn't see as well as she use ter,
She sat on the handle and swore someone goosed her,
And nobody knew she was there.
(Chorus)
The he.. in the version we sang is the word you would probably not want to
use with scouts (at least when the adults are present). I recommend using
the word heck.
