Lyrics - Mr. Webster by Monkees

by

Boyce &

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.
And through the years he thwarted twenty-seven robberies,
And each time
Frisby promised him a raise.
They gave a retirement party for
Mr.
Webster,
And everyone from the bank was there,
They had a cake and flowers ordered special,
And
Frisby had a speech prepared.
And a little box that held a watch with this inscription:"
To
Mr.
Webster,
With
Regards".
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."
And one by one all the people left the party,
And
Mr.
Frisby locked the door.
