[Intro: John Lennon]
Uh...
Mildred, Mildred?
[?]

[Verse: Yoko Ono, John Lennon]
Mildred, Mildred, how I love you so
Remember the joke you told me
While we had our midnight tea
That was the funniest joke I ever heard in my life
I didn't tell you then, 'cause I was drinking the tea

Alfred, now Alfred, (Aye!) you used to call me so
And told me how it would be nice to open a plant shop
That was the most sensible idea we had in our life
I didn't tell you then, 'cause I was reading the papers

Mildred, oh, Mildred, how I love you so
Remember how you were angry when I talked to the box
You kept trying to tell me something, something 'bout our life
But I didn't hear you then, 'cause I was watching the box

[Outro: Yoko Ono, John Lennon]
I bought a pot of plant now
And I'm watering it ev'ry day
I watched the late night talk show
And asked the man in a suit
Why he was laughing so when my wife was dead
He didn't reply
No, he didn't reply at all

And I burnt the box next morning
And buried in our garden...

Mildred (Mildred), oh, Mildred (Mildred), how I miss you so (How I miss you so)
How I wish to tell you a lot of things about our life (How I wish to tell you a lot of things about our life)
But of course you aren't around, you aren't around no more (But of course you aren't around, you aren't around no more)
And I hear the box still laughing in the next door apartment (And I hear the box still laughing, ha ha ha ha [...] apartment.)

Mmm... Mmm...

Mildred...
