Verse 1
(D major) Near famous (A major) Covent (D major) Garden,
A dome there (A major) stands on (D major) high,
Where (A major) kings are represented,
And queens in metered (D major) eye,
The both and (A major) men of business,
Di (D major) versions (A major) hither bring, (D major)
To (G major) hear the wanton (D major) doxies print,
And (G major) see them (D major) dance and sing,
With a fa -la -la -la, (A major) la -la -la -la -la,
With a (D major) fa -la (A major) -la -la -la (D major) -la. (A major) (D major) (A major) (D major) (A major) (D major)
Here Phyllis (A major) is the (D major) darling,
as she her (A major) self gives (D major) out
As (A major) tight a lass as ever,
did (D major) use a double clout
She's (A major) brisk and gay and cunning,
and wants a wedlock (D major) yoke
Her (G major) mother was be (D major) fore her,
as (G major) good as (D major) ever stroked
With a fa -la -la -la, la -la -la (A major) -la -la,
with a (D major) fa -la -la -la -la. (A major) (D major) (A major) (D major) (A major) (D major)
Young suitors (A major) she had (D major) many,
from squire up (A major) to (D major) lord,
And (A major) daily she refused them,
for (D major) virtue was the word.
A (A major) saint she would be thought,
and as (D major) sembled all (A major) she could, (D major)
But (G major) jolly rakes all (D major) knew she was of
playhouse flesh (A major) and (D major) blood,
And her fa la la la, la la la (A major) la la,
and her (D major) fa la la la la. (A major) (D major) (A major) (D major) (A major) (D major)
Her mother, (A major) when encour (D major) aged
with warm Geneva (A major) dose, (D major)
Still cried,
(A major) Take care, dear filly,
To (D major) keep thy (A major) hunches (D major) close.
This (A major) made her stand out stoutly,
Op (D major) posing all (A major) that (D major) come,
And (G major) twenty demy (D major) cannons
still were (G major) mounted at (D major) her bum,
And her fa -la -la -la, (A major) la -la -la -la -la,
And her (D major) fa -la (A major) -la -la -la (D major) -la. (A major) (D major)
The knight and country squire
were shot with (A major) her dis (D major) dain
The law (A major) yer was outwitted,
the (D major) hardy (A major) soldier slain (D major)
The bluff (A major) tarpaulin sailor,
in vain, (D major) cried hard a port
She baffled (G major) all the (D major) shirks at sea
as the (G major) country town (A major) and (D major) court
With her fa -la -la -la, la -la -la (A major) -la,
and her (D major) fa -la (A major) -la -la -la (D major) (A major) (D major)
The god of (A major) love grown (D major) angry
that Phyllis seemed (A major) so (D major) shy
Resolved her (A major) pride to humble
and (D major) rout her pish and fie
He (A major) sent a slow -foot tailor
who (D major) knew well how to stitch
And (G major) in a little time (D major) had found
a (G major) button for (A major) her (D major) bridge
And her fa -la -la -la, (A major) la -la -la -la -la
And her (D major) fa -la -la -la -la -la (A major) (D major) (A major) (D major)
Yet was it (A major) not so (D major) close,
but is known without all doubt,
A little hu (A major) man figure has
(D major) secretly dropped out,
And though some (A major) petty scandal
pursue (D major) this venial fact,
Her (G major) mother swears and (D major) does
avow her (G major) honor is (A major) intact, (D major)
And her fa -la -la -la, la -la -la (A major) -la -la,
And her (D major) fa -la (A major) -la -la -la. (D major) you
