Say, my lovely friends, have you any pity

At your finger-ends? then listen to my ditty.

Our Kate has gone away, last Thursday night we miss’d her;

Good people do not smile, – say, Have you seen my sister?

If you have her seen, I hope you will advise her

To return to me, or I must advertise her;

Her waist is very thick, her stays give her a twister,

Now tell me, b’hoys and g’hals, Have you seen my sister?

She squints with both her eyes, in a manner very shocking,

She’s got a mouth for pies, and wears no shoes or stockings;

I’m afraid she’s gone astray, and some chap did enlist her,

I’m afraid she’s gone for good; say, Have you seen my sister?

She wants her two front teeth, you’d see it when she’d titter.

She’s got such little feet, Victoria’s shoes won’t fit her;

She wears no cap at all, but a great big muslin whister,

Now tell me once for all, Have you seen my sister?

Her figure’s straight and tall, her conduct’s very proper;

She’s well provided, for she’s eighteen pence in copper.

Now if you have her seen, you never could forget her,

For she’s very much like me; now, Have you seen my sister?

Her mouth is very small, her nose is straight and natty,

I tell you once for all, this girl is very pretty

Now I’ll sing you another song, and it shall be a twister,

If you will go with me, and help me find my sister.
