Yum-Yum, Peep-Bo, Pitti-Sing
Three little maids from school are we,
Pert as a school-girl well can be,
Filled to the brim with girlish glee,
Three little maids from school!
Yum-Yum
Everything is a source of fun. (Chuckle)
Peep-Bo
Nobody's safe, for we care for none! (Chuckle)
Pitti-Sing
Life is a joke that's just begun! (Chuckle)
Yum-Yum, Peep-Bo, Pitti-Sing
Three little maids from school!
Three little maids who, all unwary,
Come from a ladies' seminary,
Freed from its genius tutelary
Three little maids from school!
Three little maids from school!
Yum-Yum
One little maid is a bride, Yum-Yum
Peep-Bo
Two little maids in attendance come
Pitti-Sing
Three little maids is the total sum.
Yum-Yum, Peep-Bo, Pitti-Sing
Three little maids from school!
Yum-Yum
From three little maids take one away
Peep-Bo
Two little maids remain, and they
Pitti-Sing
Won't have to wait very long, they say
Yum-Yum, Peep-Bo, Pitti-Sing
Three little maids from school!
Girls
Three little maids from school!
Yum-Yum, Peep-Bo, Pitti-Sing and girls
Three little maids who, all unwary,
Come from a ladies' seminary,
Freed from its genius tutelary
Yum-Yum, Peep-Bo, Pitti-Sing
Three little maids from school!
Yum-Yum, Peep-Bo, Pitti-Sing and girls
Three little maids from school!
