This is the girl so graceful and tall, Who expected to make her debut at the ball ; For weeks she's been dancing -with one of the kiddies, To accustom herself to the steps of the middies.
This is the shop of a kind Israelite, Who lends evening costumes at five bob a night; And these are two swells who have paid him a call, To make a grand splash at- the citizens' ball.
