Mr. Webster

[Verse 1]

Everyone in town knew Mr. Webster

He worked at the bank for forty years

And each week Mr. Frisby made his check out

For sixty-eight dollars clear

[Chorus 1]

And through the years he thwarted twenty-seven robberies

Each time, Frisby promised him a raise

[Verse 2]

They gave a retirement party for Mr. Webster

Everyone from the bank was there

They had a cake and flowers ordered special

And Frisby had a speech prepared

[Chorus 2]

And a little white box that held a watch with this inscription

"To Mr. Webster, with regards"

[Verse 3]

Then came the telegram from Mr. Webster

Said, "Sorry - stop - cannot attend

I've flown away and taken all your money

Wish you were here to help me spend"

[Chorus 3]

And one by one all the people left the party

And Mr. Frisby locked the door
