Another "Greensleeves" variant, from Derek Craft of 1812:

"My darling, you look a bit of a mess
When you wipe your nose on the sleeve of your dress
It's most unhygienic you must confess
It's no wonder the boys call you Greensleeves"

And, to the tune of the Can-Can (Derek Craft again):

"I know a girl called Lisa, she's a little teaser
And she lives in Paris with a rich old geezer.
So beautiful is Lisa, if she went to Pisa
I am sure the tower would stand up straight"
