'Liza's old man's perhaps a little shady, br 'Liza's old woman's prone to booze and cring; br But 'Liza deems herself a perfect lady, br And proves it in her feathers and her fringe. br For 'Liza has a bloke her heart to cheer, br With pearlies and a barrer and a jack, br So all the vegetables of the year br Are duly represented on her back. br Her boots are sacrifices to her hats, br Which knock you speechless-like a load of bricks! br Her summer velvets dazzle Wanstead Flats, br And cost, at times, a good eighteen-and-six. br Withal, outside the gay and giddy whirl, br 'Liza's a stupid, straight, hard-working girl.
