If your foot is pretty, show it, No matter where, or when; Let all fair maidens know it The foot takes all the men The face, so fair and lovely, May charm the gazer's eye, But if the foot is homely, He'll quickly pass you by, He'll quickly,--He'll quickly, He'll quickly pass you by. If your foot is pretty, show it, If you wish to catch a bean; No longer hide the tell-tale charm, Beneath so many clothes The figure may deceive you, All hooped and padded o'er; But let me but survey the foot, I'll ask to see no more, I'll ask--I'll ask-- I'll ask to see no more. If your foot is pretty, show it, When you trip along the street; For, it will catch the eager eyes Of every man you meet Don't toss your glossy ringlets, Nor pout your lips so sweet, But gently lift your petticoats, And show your handsome feet. And show--And show-- And show your handsome feet. [Sung by W. N. SMITH, the great bone-player of Bailey's Circus. H. de Marsan DEALER in SONGS, TOY BOOK, &C. No. 60 CHATHAM. ST N.Y.
