She Fought Like A Tiger For 'er 'onour - Gracie Fields[00:00:00]

My auntie Flo is sixty or so [00:00:10]

She always says she's old-fashioned and slow [00:00:14]

She's never been married [00:00:17]

You'll hear her exclaim [00:00:18]

But she's covered some grass[00:00:20]

In her time all the same [00:00:21]

'Cause she's one of those old-fashioned ladies[00:00:23]

With funny old-fashioned ideas [00:00:27]

Men of today are unmanly she'll say [00:00:30]

And they don't seem to love in the old-fashioned way [00:00:33]

She says she has dreams of a lover sublime [00:00:37]

He comes in her sleep like a nursery rhyme [00:00:40]

So she stays in her bed for three weeks at a time[00:00:43]

'Cause she's one of those old-fashioned ladies [00:00:47]

Cocktails and spirits she never permits [00:00:51]

But last Christmas party she had us in fits [00:00:54]

She drank two small ports and then did the split[00:00:58]

'Cause she's one of those old-fashioned ladies [00:01:01]

Auntie will say: girls of today[00:01:05]

Speak in the naughtiest blush-making way [00:01:08]

But tell her a story you think is new [00:01:11]

And she'll say "I heard that one before I was two "[00:01:14]

'Cause she's one of those old-fashioned ladies[00:01:17]

With funny old-fashioned ideas [00:01:21]

Children today are all spoiled she will say [00:01:25]

How different from good Queen Victoria's day [00:01:28]

Singing she says is an art that is dead [00:01:32]

And crooners well they simply make her see red [00:01:35]

But she's twenty-seven portraits of Bing round her bed[00:01:38]

'Cause she's one of those old-fashioned ladies [00:01:41]

She's one of those old-fashioned ladies[00:01:45]

With funny old-fashioned ideas [00:01:49]

Girls say such things you will hear Auntie tell [00:01:52]

And this slang from America's really well well [00:01:55]

"Gosh" and "oh gee" sound so common she'll say [00:01:59]

The worst of the lot is that dreadful "OK "[00:02:03]

But I heard her call someone a "twerp" yesterday[00:02:06]

'Cause she's one of those old-fashioned ladies [00:02:09]

She says that the talkies with sickness weak[00:02:13]

Not fit for a lady to see or to speak [00:02:16]

And she ought to know she goes five times a week[00:02:20]

'Cause she's one of those old-fashioned ladies [00:02:23]

She's one of those old-fashioned ladies[00:02:26]

With funny old-fashioned ideas [00:02:30]

Husbands today are so rare she will say [00:02:34]

So she just jogs along in her spinsterly way [00:02:36]

It seems such a pity she never was wed [00:02:40]

But she has a cat and a parrot instead [00:02:43]

And a hot-water bottle she always calls "Fred"[00:02:47]

'Cause she's one of those old-fashioned ladies[00:02:52]
