Verse 1
D
A
D
Near famous Covent Garden,
A
D
A dome there stands on high,
D
A
D
Diversions hither bring,
G
D
To hear the wanton doxies print,
G
D
And see them dance and sing,
D
A
D
A
D
A
D
A
D
With a fa -la -la -la -la -la.
A
D
Here Phyllis is the darling,
A
D
as she herself gives out
G
D
Her mother was before her,
G
D
as good as ever stroked
D
A
D
A
D
A
D
with a fa -la -la -la -la.
A
D
Young suitors she had many,
A
D
from squire up to lord,
D
A
D
and assembled all she could,
G
D
But jolly rakes all knew she was of
A
D
playhouse flesh and blood,
D
A
D
A
D
A
D
and her fa la la la la.
A
D
Her mother, when encouraged
A
D
with warm Geneva dose,
Still cried,
D
A
D
To keep thy hunches close.
D
A
D
Opposing all that come,
G
D
And twenty demy cannons
G
D
still were mounted at her bum,
D
A
D
A
D
And her fa -la -la -la -la -la.
The knight and country squire
A
D
were shot with her disdain
D
A
D
the hardy soldier slain
G
D
She baffled all the shirks at sea
G
A
D
as the country town and court
D
A
D
A
D
and her fa -la -la -la -la
A
D
The god of love grown angry
A
D
that Phyllis seemed so shy
G
D
And in a little time had found
G
A
D
a button for her bridge
D
A
D
A
D
And her fa -la -la -la -la -la
A
D
Yet was it not so close,
but is known without all doubt,
G
D
Her mother swears and does
G
A
D
avow her honor is intact,
D
A
D
And her fa -la -la -la -la. you
