THEY'RE ALL IN THE PUSH.

Words and Music by Percy Gaunt.
When a man goes courting he will often find
There is more than one within the family tie,
And when at last he does make up his mind
That he'll have to marry all or say good-by.
Well, very soon he marries, but her mommer she still tarries,
And you wonder how It came within the rush.
You have married little brother, little sister and her mother,
And you meet ev'ry one in the push.
Chorus.
They're all in the push, baby boy,
They come with a rush, baby boy;
You have married little brother,
Little sister and her mother,
And you meet ev'ry one in the push.
I met a girl of character demure,
Whose papa was a plumber millionaire:
You can take for granted that she wasn't poor,
Or I wouldn't try to hum this little air.
'Twas by the garden gate, sir, and the hour was getting late, sir.
When her papa came at me with such a rush.
And then the dog called Towser, got a part of my light trousers,
In fact I met them all in the push.
Chorus.
They're all in the push, baby boy,
They come with a rush, baby boy;
And then the dog, called Towser,
Got a part of my light trousers-
And you meet ev'ry one in the push.
