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.
