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 had made the men who mixed it ill or dead.
|
|
Take some silk of red or black, cut a circle or a cresent,
|
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 flash 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.
