Subject: RE: Oh Dear What Can the Matter Be
He promised to buy me a beautiful fairing
A gay bit of lace that the girls are all wearing
He promised to buy me a bunch of blue ribbons
To tie up my bonnie brown hair.

Or

He promised to buy me a fairing should please me
And then for a kiss, oh he vowed he would tease me
He promised to buy me a bunch of blue ribbons
To tie up my bonnie brown hair.

Or

Oh dear, what can the matter be,
Four old ladies locked in the lavatory,
They were there from Monday to Saturday,
Nobody knew they were there!
