SUMMARY:

Follow these tips to reach the very height of Georgian fashion...

Lyrics by Terry Deary

LYRICS:

A gorgeous Georgian lady is quite a sight to see
For some splendid beauty tips, pay attention listen to me.

​

White is beautiful dear ladies, smear your face with paint of lead.
Never mind the lead has made the men who mixed it ill or dead.

​

Take some silk of red or black, cut a circle or a crescent
Stick it on your face to cover smallpox scars, it’s much more pleasant.

​

Shave your eyebrows clean away, take a trap and catch some mice.
Make false eyebrows with the mouse skin, stick them on, you’ll look so nice.

​

Next you need a monster wig if you want to look real smashing
Once your wig has reached the roof then you’ll be the height of fashion.

​

Decorate your lovely hairpiece, use the feathers of a parrot
Add some ribbon, fruit and flowers, from your ear then hang a carrot.

​

Make your face look soft and chubby, pack your mouth with balls of cork
Hang your flash teeth in the middle, hope you don’t choke when you talk.

​

Now you followed my advice, last of all you need a fan
Flutter it oh so demurely, then your sure to bag your man.
