EDWIN'S PILLS, &c, SONG
by John O'Keeffe (1747–1833)
See a nymph so brisk and witty, Nimbly tripping thro' the Park, Throwing round her eyes so pretty, And ogling every powder'd spark; She'll leer and gaze with fond delight, Invite you home, and kiss you too; Sigh, kneel and swear, my angel bright, Without your cash, your kissing won't do! With a long purse ever go to your love, Chink it, chink it, there, O there! When you twinkum twankum, tol derol lol derol, Ha! ha! ha! she'll love you dear.
Who'd refuse a lad of my inches, So sprightly, sightly, neat, compleat? But wag-tails lur'd are by gold-finches, Tho' eyes may roll, and pulses beat. They'll leer and gaze with fond delight, You tip 'em an ogle, they ogle too! My Dove, my Duck, my Angel bright, Without your cash, your kissing won't do! With a long purse ever go to your love, Chink it, chink it, there, O there! When you twinkum twankum, tol derol lol derol, Ha! ha! ha! then she'll love you dear.
