w:In sheen-y Sab-bath sat-in shines the lass of Yack-an-dan-dah.
W:
W:Her spotless name hath never known one touch or taint of slander,
W:Though barmaid at the 'Harrow' is the lass of Yackandandah.
W:I'd like to see the man who'd dare with calumny to brand her,
W:He'd find he'd got his match in her, the lass of Yackandandah.
W:
W:Her tongue subdues us, one and all, we dare not reprimand her;
W:Each brawling sot is mute before the lass of Yackandandah.
W:The lazy landlord long has ceased the effort to command her;
W:And in the 'Harrow' reigns supreme the lass of Yackandandah.
W:
W:She draws a cork with such an air, no mortal can withstand her;
W:She turns a tap, and turns our heads, the lass of Yackandandah.
W:When she's behind the bar, I stand and stare, like any gander;
W:Whereat, she calls me silly goose, the lass of Yackandandah.
W:
W:For her dear sake a goose I'd be, a bunyip, salamander,
W:Or anything, in short, to win the lass of Yackandandah.
W:I wish I were Belshazzar, or the Emp'ror Alexander,
W:My crown I'd lay at her dear feet, the lass of Yackandandah.
W:
W:My wages all in drinking healths to her, I weekly squander,
W:Yet cannot drown my passion for the lass of Yackandandah.
W:Her coldness is enough to raise an angel's bile or dander,
W:She'll be the death of me I know, the lass of Yackandandah.
