And we didn't know her name,
Yet with rapture wild we hailed her
When the New Girl came.
She was rather shy on cooking
And she couldn't iron a shirt;
And she spoke a foreign language

Not a reference she gave US,
Naught OF sweeping could she do.
And she sat up with admirers
Till the clock was striking two.
Yet you'll understand our feelings
And the rapture OF the same,
For we had a little daugher
