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.
