She won a beauty contest
She was prettier than all the rest
So shapely and tall
Envy of them all
But she always knew she was the best

Beat that, if you can

She used to run other girls down
And trip them up in their best gown
But SHE was a MAN
Beat that, if you can,

A proud man of Dublin got wed
A beauty quite went to his head
What he did not know
And she did not show
From a previous spouse she’d fled

We want her home said Ma and Pa.
