Take Your Elbow Out Of The Soup (you`re Sitting On Lyrics

To be simple and wise  
Never tell lies  
Always pick on someone my own
size  
Would be quite a thing  
And when I make it swing  
I’ll
write you a letter or I’ll give you a ring  

Take your elbow out
of the soup, you’re sitting on the chicken  
Take your elbow out of
the soup, you’re sitting on the chicken  
Take your elbow out of the
soup, you’re sitting on the chicken  
Holding you tight is extremely
all right  
If ain’t called love then it ain’t like a light,
sailor  

To be sweet and true 
To the likes of you  
A promise
that time will not undo  
Would be truly smart  
And when I make a start 

I’ll come and pick you up in my horse and cart  

The mouse
runs up your leg, it’s 1 O’clock in china  
The mouse runs up
your leg, ooh, it’s 1 O’clock in china 
The mouse runs up your
leg, oh, it’s 1 O’clock in china  
Oh for the wings of a dove,
goodness me, I’m in love  

Are they shut or open? Always all
around you close 
And there’s poor darling and I love you 
And I
might  one who cares

Take your elbow out of the soup, you’re
sitting on the kittens  
Take your elbow out of the soup, you’re
sitting on the kittens  
Take your elbow out of the soup, you’re
sitting on the kittens 
Take your elbow out of the soup, you’re
sitting on the kittens  

To be simple and wise...
