    Mean Mr. Mustard

    by: Beatles

    Mean Mister Mustard sleeps in the park
    Shaves in the dark trying to save paper
    Sleeps in a hole in the road
    Saving up to buy some clothes
    Keeps a ten-bob note up his nose
    Such a mean old man
    Such a mean old man
    His sister Pam works in a shop
    She never stops, she's a go-getter
    Takes him out to look at the queen
    Only place that he's ever been
    Always shouts out something obscene
    Such a dirty old man
