For years and years I've been alone, me, spinster on the shelf  I'm right fed up with spendin' all me money on meself  I'm all prepared for married life, it's secrets I've been taught  And here's some little odds and ends I've been and gone and bought  One bridal gown, one eiderdown  I've been savin' 'em up since 1894  Got me ribbons and me bows  And there's these and them and those  All packed up in me little bottom drawer  One baby's cot, one flower pot  Where I've planted a ramblin' rose bush for the door  Got a motto for the wall, it says Heaven Help Us All  All packed up in me little bottom drawer  Got a pianner, under the staircase  And I'm teachin' meself to play the maiden's prayer  One toilet set, one bassinet  Now I'm waitin' for love to open up the door  Got a set of Priestley's works and a case of eggs from Turks  All packed up in me little bottom drawer  I've answered every advert in the Matrimonial Times  I've bought me own confetti and a case of weddin' chimes  At night I count me treausres just to see they haven't strayed  I'm very patriotic, everyone is British made  One chiffonier, one keg of beer  And some orange and purple lino for the floor  Got a new pyjama set, made of bright red flannellette  All packed up in me little bottom drawer  One persian rug, one china jug  And some beautiful silverware from Woolworth's stores  With a book by Doctor Pfife, I'm out to be a perfect wife  All packed up in me little bottom drawer  We'll have a bathroo-oom, a beautiful bathroom  And a lovely bath where we can keep the coals  Horse shoe for luck, bell for the muck  And a President Hooverc1
