We’ve come to see Jenny Jones,
Jenny Jones, Jenny Jones,
We’ve come to see Jenny Jones,
And how is she now?

O Jenny is washing,
O washing, O washing,
O Jenny is washing,
And you can’t see her now.

Very well, ladies, ladies, ladies,
Very well, ladies, and gentlemen too.

We’ve come to see Jenny Jones,
Jenny Jones, Jenny Jones,
We’ve come to see Jenny Jones,
And how is she now?

O Jenny is starching,
O starching, O starching,
O Jenny is starching,
And you can’t see her now.

Very well, ladies, ladies, ladies,
Very well, ladies, and gentlemen too.

We’ve come to see Jenny Jones,
Jenny Jones, Jenny Jones,
We’ve come to see Jenny Jones,
And how is she now?

O Jenny is ironing,
O ironing, O ironing,
O Jenny is ironing,
And you can’t see her now.

Very well, ladies, ladies, ladies,
Very well, ladies, and gentlemen too.
