[WOMEN]
Clickety clack, clickety clack, swish
Slippety slap, slippety slap, slosh
Swing the mop and wield the brush
Wring the cloth and swab the dish
Clickety swish, clip clap
Slippety slosh, slip slap
And ever look over your shoulder together

For there may be coming along
Any day, singing a song
Just the one handsome rover
Who's your own destined lover
You never can tell
So it's just as well
It may make him bolder
To glance over your shoulder
You never can tell
So it's just as well
You never can tell, you never can tell
You never can tell

Clickety clack, clickety clack, swish
Slippety slap, slippety slap, slosh
Set the sanding stone awash
Soap and brush and make a wish
Clickety swish, clip clap
Slippety slosh, slip slap
And ever look over your shoulder together
For the kingdoms under the sun
Hold the unavoidable one
And in time he'll discover
He's your own destined lover
But give him a chance
An occasional glance
If he should pass by you
And fail to descry you

(spoken)
Oh, misery. 

(sung)
You never can tell
You never can tell
You never can tell, you never can tell
You never can tell, you never can tell
You never can tell, you never can tell
You never can tell
