I'M THE HUSBAND OF THE WIFE OF MR WU 9Harry Gifford / Fred E Cliffe / George Formby) as recorded by George Formby June 18th 1939 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!" (Transcribed by Peter Akers - September 2017)
