She's such a beauty so young and so lovely
And all her time is spent by her mother's side
Washing the dishes and ironing her dresses
And hanging them up in the sunshine to dry

My, my, my, my and then she hangs them in the sunshine to dry

Her mother's quite strict with her little lady
She doesn't let her go out and have fun
She stays at home and does the chores daily
It seems that her work is never quite done

My, my, my, my It seems that her work is never quite done

And if you see her tell her hello from someone who knows the family
And if she tells you she doesn't know who you're speaking of mention Stanley

She's such a beauty so young and so lovely
And all her time is spent by her mother's side
