To the hairdresser I flew,

“Sir,” said he, “that’s nothing new,

Try our ostrich marrow grease,

Try it, and your fretting cease;”

So I did, and next was seen

With my hair a light pea green.

Don’t dye your hair, &c.

Next day, alas! ’twas dirty pink,

Then the colour of red ink;

Next ’twas purple, then ’twas blue,
