Lyrics
MRS. HODGES
Whither among you without fault
Cast the first stone
And let the Pharisees and Sadducees
Give way to none
But whosoever feels his pride humbled so deep
There is no corner he can hide
He burdens me
We'll have no trouble to find out
How a poor teacher
Widowed and lonely, finds delight
In children's play
MRS. HODGES
Mr. Hobson, where's your cart?
I'm ready
MR. HOBSON
Up here, madam
I can wait
MRS. HODGES
Where are my pills?
MR. HOBSON
I'm sorry, ma'am
MRS. HODGES
Sleeping draught?
MR. HOBSON
The laudanum is out of stock
And being brought by Mr. Carrier Hobson's cart
He's back tonight
MRS. HODGES
Good Lord, good Lord, good Lord
MR. HOBSON
Meet us both in the pub
The Boar Auntie's, we call it
It's quite safe
MRS. HODGES
I've never been in a pub in my life
MR. HOBSON
You'll come?
MRS. HODGES
All right
MR. HOBSON
Tonight?
MRS. HODGES
All right
MR. HOBSON
If young dear takes much more laudanum
She'll earn herself a day in bedlam
