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

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
Dirty old man
She Said Yeah...coming two years too late to say this, but they changed Shirley to Pam to fit in with the medley at the end of Abbey Road. Polythene Pam ring a bell?
such a great random song... though I always wondered why they changed 'Shirley' to 'Pam'.
I read somewhere that the whole "ten-bob-note-up-his-nose" thing was a drug reference...
???
I don't think thebananaslugman meant this song was a mistake. S/he meant one of the comments posted here. Sorry, I hate to contradict other's words.
I love this song. Did you know that Pam was going to be another woman's name? They changed it to Pam to tie in with "Polythene Pam."
Love this song. Couldn't really tell you why, though. I just do, I guess.
thebananaslugman, WHAT are you talking about?? This song was in no way a mistake ... it's anything but ... It's so ... I dunno ... maybe you have listen better ... "Mean Mr. Mustard sleeps in the park, shaves in the dark, try'n ..."
