Just What I Expected - song lyrics 
American Old-time song lyrics from www.traditionalmusic.co.uk 
JUST WHAT I EXPECTED. Written by Harry Vincent. Composed by Chas Clarendon. 
Behold before you now a man who's always in a fix. And I think of troubles I have got a score; Like other folks I'm always very anxious for to know, And I think I get inquisitive more And more. There's a young man calls next door to me- what for I do not know, And strange enough the thing occurred to me. If I was just to have a peep through the keyhole of the door, Most likely I should be able for to see-
Chorus. Just what I expected, just what I expected, I knew that they were fairly on the job; If kissing they should be, why not do it openly, But there you are, it's just what I expected. 
I always try my utmost to keep from having rows. And believe me, that I'm sure's the wisest plan; The other day I saw a fellow thumping of his wife. Then my blood rose like a true born Englishman. I went straight up and told him what he'd done I thought a shame, He answered me by making no reply; But put himself in attitude, and straight out from the chest, He landed me a punch clean in the eye. 
Chorus. Just what I expected, just what I expected, It served me right for trying to interfere, Instead of having a say, I should have gone the other way; Well, there you are, it's just what I expected. 
I thought I'd have a holiday, so to the seaside went, Well just my luck I wasn't there so long. Before a telegram it came, imagine my surprise When I read, "Come home at once, there's something wrong." I very soon packed up my things, the next train then I caught. And landed home at I o'clock, a. m.; Knocked at the door, the nurse came down congratulating me, By saying, "Your the happiest of men." 
Chorus. Just what I expected, just what I expected, I thought that I should dance and shout with glee, When the nurse announced to me, "You are the dad of three;" Well, there you are, it's just what I expected.
