Oh! the White Vests of Young England!
Oh! the vests of Young England are perfectly white,
And they’re cut very neatly and sit very tight;
And they serve to distinguish our Young Englishmen
From the juvenile Manners to Coningsby Ben;
Sing, “Oh! the white vests of Young England,
And Oh! the Young English white vests!”
Now the Old English vest was some two yards about,
For Old England was rather inclined to be stout;
But the Young English waist is extremely compress’d,
