Lyrics
Chorus
Must you have the missus with you
Can’t you come out on your own
Must you always have a keeper
Ain’t you old enough to be alone
Why don’t you take her out and lose her
Why be such a silly elk
If there’s any beer wants mopping
Can’t you mop it up yourself
Chorus
Must you have beef with your mustard
Can’t you sop it up with bread
Ain’t it just the stuff to warm you
Make you sneeze and also clear your head
In that motto be obliging
Have you really no belief
Can’t you sit and eat the mustard
Let me and the children have the beef
