I'm the Husband of the Wife of Mr Wu Songtext
von George Formby

Famous men they come and go
Where they go to I don′t know
All I know, it's clear
I′m still here

I'm the husband of the wife of Mr Wu
She feeds me up with nice chop suey too
Of charms she has a lot
Don't know exactly what
It′s just a little somethin′
That the others 'aven′t got

Our honeymoon in China was a do
We visited pagodas, quite a few
Said a geisha, "You look sporty!"
But I said, "I daren't be naughty
I′m the husband of the wife of Mr Wu!"


I'm the husband of the wife of Mr Wu
She feeds me up with nice chop suey too
Of charms she has a lot
Don′t know exactly what
It's just a little somethin'
That the others ′aven′t got

Said the geisha servin' tea, "Me likey you!"
A tasty dish she brought and made love too
Then I said, "You′d better stop quick
You can't meddle with me chopstick
I′m the husband of the wife of Mr Wu!"

I'm the husband of the wife of Mr Wu
She feeds me up with nice chop suey too
Of charms she has a lot
Don′t know exactly what
It's just a little somethin'
That the others ′aven′t got

In the market square of things I bought a few
They tried to sell me silk pyjamas too
I said, "Though I might admire 'em
I don′t think I shall require 'em
I′m the husband of the wife of Mr Wu!"


I'm the husband of the wife of Mr Wu
She feeds me up with nice chop suey too
Of charms she has a lot
Don′t know exactly what
It's just a little somethin'
That the others ′aven′t got

Then a girl said, "I intend to marry you
Of little chinks we'll soon have twenty two!"
I said, "That′s a proposition
But I'm no Chinese magician
I′m the husband of the wife of Mr Wu!"
