Refrain:
Oh dearie. Oh dear me! Things aren’t what they used to be.
Oh dearie. Oh dear me! I hope they don’t get worse.
Oh dearie. Oh dear me! Things aren’t what they used to be.
Oh dearie. Oh dear me! I hope they don’t get worse.
Call for the ambulance, my mother tried to learn to dance.
Call for the firemen, my sister set fire to the den.
Refrain
Oh, what’s the matter now?
My dad fell off the ladder- OW!
It’s a catastrophe, my cat just ate a bumblebee.
Oh dear, I just don’t know the tv fell on Bob’s big toe,
My brother’s in his room alone, chewing on the telephone.
Refrain
Oh dear, it seems to me, this is a calamity
Nothing’s what it used to be, I think it’s getting worse.
Oh dear, and that’s not all, I just boiled my pingpong ball,
The baby’s climbing up the wall – Oh dear me!
Refrain:
Oh dearie. Oh dear me! Things aren’t what they used to be.
Oh dearie. Oh dear me! I hope they don’t get worse.
Oh dearie. Oh dear me! Things aren’t what they used to be.
Oh dearie. Oh dear me! – we’ve reached the final verse!
