Pretty LITTLE TIPPET.

To its ain proper Tune.

THere is a chambermaid lives in the South,
So tight, so light, so neat, so gay, so handy—o.
Her breath is like the rose, and the pretty little mouth
of pretty little Tippet is the dandy-o!

Never could I clasp the waist of Sucky, Sal, or peg,
their arms so red, their ugly legs so bandy—o!
But slim and taper is the waist: the neat and pretty leg,
of pretty little Tippet is the dandy—o!

Tippet of the South, if she gives me but a smile,
cheers the cockels of my skipping heart, like brandy—o.
Each part, each limb, each look, would any one beguile
but take her altogether, she’s the dandy—o!
Each part, each limb, each look, would any one beguile
and Tippet’s little total is the dandy—o!

FINIS.
