[Verse 1]
I once knew a lady
A little old lady
Before I started to grow
She'd tea ev’ry Sunday
Was up on a Monday
Though she had no place to go

[Chorus]
And her name was Tabatha Twitchit
Is it right what I'm tellin' you now?
Yes, her name was Tabatha Twitchit
Is it right? Yes, it is ’cause I know

[Verse 2]
She had a friend who
We both used to talk to
Anton the Great was his name
And she could depend on
Her great little Anton
Whose picture she hung in a frame

[Chorus]
And he loved Miss Tabatha Twitchit
Is it right what I'm tellin' you now?
Yes, he loved Miss Tabatha Twitchit
Is it right? Yеs, it is 'cause I know

[Bridge]
Old-fashioned lace
Around thе face of the lady
Old-fashioned grace
She meant the world to me

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
I once knew a lady
A sweet, little lady
But then I started to grow
We cried on a Sunday
I left on a Monday
Where she is now I don't know
[Chorus]
So I lost my Tabatha Twitchit
Is it right what I'm tellin' you now?
Yes, I lost my Tabatha Twitchit
Is it right? Yes, it is 'cause I know
