THE TATTOOED LADY


We went to town to see
That old tattooed lady
She was a sight to see
Tattooed from head to knee.


My Uncle Ned was there
He came to gape and stare
I never he declared
Seen such a freak so fair.


And on her jaw was the Royal Flying Corp.
And on her back was the Union Jack
Now could you ask for more?


All up and down her spine
Was the Queen's own Guard in line
While all around her hips
Sailed a fleet of battleships


And over her left kidney
Was a bird's eye view of Sydney
But what we liked best
Was upon her chest,
A little home in Wai-ki-ki.
