Those buxon old ladies who like to be gay,
At the change in the fashions are out of the way,
For with wig and chignon they all come the grand,
Tho’ their heads are as bald as the palm of my hand.
The ladies at first will feel rather strange,
They will get light-headed I hope by the change,
It will seem rather awkward at first I suppose,
To wear hats on their heads now, instead of their nose.
Now what’s to be done with the left off chignons,
They are sure to amount to some millions of tons!
