To be stylish to outright you must sup at twelve at
night,
And to go to bed at daylight in all the dandy O.
Yon mun talk of plays and balls, and Madam Cata-
lina's squ(illegible text),
Who with a voice as ⟨sweet⟩ as sugar candy O,
Three hundred pound by gum for singing is her sum,
And for paying, Jacky B(illegible text) all the dandy O.
Then the ladies make such rackets in their little
jockey jackets,
The black, brown, the fair and the sandy, O,
With their trinkets and their lockets, b(illegible text) the deil
of any pockets,
But a little basket to carry is all the dandy O.
Then the beaus do strut and stare with high frizzled
hair,
Some short, some tall and some bandy O,
With a towel round their neck, that at least would
hold a peck,
And so neatly stop their wizzen is the dandy O,
Once fashion decreed that our heads should be found
In blue and buff uniform and handy O
Now the chatter is to keep up,
Our ladies dress in buss, and invisible petticoats
are the dandy O.
Now the ladies never fear when they go to take the
air,
At driving all the gentlemen are handy O,
My lord he mounts the box, in a coat with twenty
caps,
And to be the prime whip which is all the dandy O
