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