[1st verse:]

Pretty young Mabel was helping her mother

Clearing the table and dressing her brother

Washing the dishes, feeding the fishes

As ev'ry girl should do

Johnny dropped in and soon made himself handy

Helping his Mabel dear

When all the work was thro' and nothing more to do

He whispered in her ear



[chorus:]

Is there anything else that I can do for you?

Tell me do, come on and ask me to

I've got hours to spare, my dear, and then a few

Tell me Mabel, I'm able to do anything else

So don't you be afraid

Pretty maid, I've learned the tailor trade

And somehow I've been guessin'

That your lips need some pressin'

Tell me, dear, is there anything else?



[2nd verse:]

Pretty young Mabel could not see the joke, so said

"In the stable there's wood to be broke," so

There was no stopping, John started chopping

Chopp'd for an hour or two

Soon work and Johnny became perfect strangers

He did the best he could

Calling his Mabel near, he whispered, "Listen, dear

I'm not so strong for wood!"
