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.
