Here’s to the maid with a little short tongue,
Here’s to the gossip though feeble and frail,
Tongue on a swizel and long as a rail.
Here’s to the widow and here’s to the maid,
Here’s to the woman of work not afraid,
Here’s to the girl who can laugh, sing or sigh,
Here’s to the maid with false teeth and one eye.
Here’s to the lady who’s over-refined,
All banged in the head and bustle behind,
God bless them, we love them, they’re handsome and fair,
