Verse 1:
B        E      B         E
Mistress Mabel, seriously wrong
B         E     B                 E
Clears my table badly, then she's gone
B                      E7
Takes a liberty if you let her
B                                 E7
Yeah shes old, but she should know better
B       E      B                   E
Oh dear Mabel, please don't put me on


Verse 2:
B        E      B            E
Mistress Mabel, all the kids agree
B        E       B         E
You're unstable, curiously free
B                                 E7
Wind them down and then keep them kickin'
B                          E7
Sunken eyed and all panic stricken
B       E     B               E
Oh dear Mabel is what worries me

Prechorus:
     E                F#
Well hem-line ratbag, so they told her
E                       F#
Last night's name-tag, across her shoulder

Chorus:
    B       F#            B         F#
And tell me where all the days have gone when
    E                 D       E
You robbed my cradle, tell me Mabel
B           F#          B        F#
Where d'you go when you can't go on
          E             D       E
With this filthy fable, tell me Mabel

Verse 3:
B        E      B               E
Mistress Mabel, won't you marry me?
B     E       B              E
I'm unable to take it seriously
B                              E7
I've been good and you'll be a minute
  B                               E7
I wish you would or I'll drop you in it
B       E      B               E
Oh dear Mabel, won't you marry me?

Prechorus:
     E                F#
Well hem-line ratbag, so they told her

Last night's name-tag, across her shoulder

Chorus:
    B       F#            B         F#
And tell me where all the days have gone when
    E                 D       E
You robbed my cradle, tell me Mabel
B           F#          B        F#
Where d'you go when you can't go on
