I’ve come to see Georgina, Georgina, Georgina,
I’ve come to see Georgina, how’s she to-day?
She’s upstairs washing, washing, washing,
She’s upstairs washing, and can’t get away.
O very well, ladies, ladies, ladies,
We’ll come another day.
We’ve come to see Georgina, Georgina, Georgina,
We’ve come to see Georgina, how’s she to-day?
She’s upstairs ironing, ironing, ironing,
She’s upstairs ironing, and can’t get away.
[Then the two verses are repeated—
O very well, ladies.
We’ve come to see Georgina.
Then follows—]
She was coming downstairs with a basin of water, and she fell down and broke her toe, and she’s dead.
