I know a girl with teeth of pearl, br And shoulders white as snow; br She lives, - ah well, br I must not tell, - br Wouldn't you like to know? br br Her sunny hair is wondrous fair, br And wavy in its flow; br Who made it less br One little tress, - br Wouldn't you like to know? br br Her eyes are blue (celestial hue!) br And dazzling in their glow; br On whom they beam br With melting gleam, - br Wouldn't you like to know? br br Her lips are red and finely wed, br Like roses ere they blow; br What lover sips br Those dewy lips, - br Wouldn't you like to know? br br Her fingers are like lilies fair br When lilies fairest grow; br Whose hand they press br With fond caress, - br Wouldn't you like to know? br br Her foot is small, and has a fall br Like snowflakes on the snow; br And where it goes br Beneath the rose, - br Wouldn't you like to know? br br She has a name, the sweetest name br That language can bestow.
