Hello,

I am looking for an old song I learned as a child, but I don't know all the lyrics nor the author: it begins like this:
Hello Mrs. Nicola
Hello Miss Forza
and how's your health
and yours, miss
I just had the flu
and I had stomach cramps
fortunately my dear I have this, I have this
fortunately my dear
I have a plug of tobacco
If anyone knows the entire song, please send it to me.

Configuration: Windows Vista / Firefox 14.0.1

Hello, I just found this online

Hello Mrs. Nicolas
Hello Miss Louisa
And how is your health?
And yours, Miss?
I just had the flu
And I have stomach cramps

Fortunately, my dear, I have this, I have this, fortunately, my dear, I have my tobacco intake

What does your doctor order you?
He forbids me to drink wine
Mine poisons me with pills
Mine poisons me with capsules

Fortunately, my dear, I have this, I have this, fortunately, my dear, I have my tobacco intake

I turn the light on and off
I open and close my eyelids
At night I pet my cat
And I trim my dog Mirza

Fortunately, my dear, I have this, I have this, fortunately, my dear, I have my tobacco intake

It’s time to pack up
To undertake the great journey
And in heaven, what will we do?
To Saint Peter, what will we say?

We will say ST PETER Take this, take this, we will say Saint Peter, take my tobacco intake!

Here is the link where I found it:

I learned it in primary school 72 years ago. The version differs slightly:

Hello Mrs. Nicolas,
hi Miss Lisa,
how is your health?
and yours miss?
I just had the flu
and I have stomach cramps.

Fortunately my dear, I have this, I have this
fortunately my dear, I have my tobacco.

I sleep very little, very late at night,
I only fall asleep after midnight,
I open and close my eyelids
I turn off, I turn on the light
On my bed I pet my cat
And I have my little dog Mirza.

xxxxxxxxxxx

Our time is almost up,
If you are tired, I am too
We’ll soon have to pack our bags
To embark on the great journey
Once we arrive up there, what will we do?
In Saint Peter’s what will we offer?

We will tell him: Saint Peter, take this, take this
We will tell him Saint Peter, take my tobacco.

It's a song my grandmother used to sing to me, I taught it to my grandchildren and today I realize that I'm missing some lines. "Hello Mrs. Nicolas
Hello Miss Thomas
How is your health?
And yours, Miss?
I just had the flu
And I've got stomach cramps

Luckily, my dear, I've got this, I've got this
Here is my snuffbox, would you like some tobacco?
Luckily, my dear, I've got this, I've got this
Take my snuffbox, would you like some tobacco?

What does your doctor say?
He forbids me to drink wine
Mine keeps giving me capsules
He poisons me with pills
With his powders, he will kill me
xxxxxxxx

Luckily, my dear (repeat)

I sleep very little, very ... badly at night
xxxxxxxxx too
I open and close my eyelids
I turn the light on and off
On my bed, I pet my cat
And me, my little dog Mirza

Luckily, my dear (repeat)

I can feel my time is near
And I am quite worn out too
xxxxxx
xxxxxxx

What will we tell Saint Peter?
xxxx
I will tell him, Saint Peter, I've got this, I've got this
Take my snuffbox, would you like some tobacco?
I will tell him, Saint Peter (repeat)

Hello!

Are you still interested in the lyrics of this song? If so, I know them by heart and I could write them down for you (at least my version…)

See you soon if anyone is still interested...
