Rhyme Scheme: ABABCCCB DBDBEEEB FBFBGGGB FFFFHHHF| Alas my dear be you high born | A |
| Or just a Sydney cutie | B |
| I fear you've earned a he man's scorn | A |
| Thro' failing in your duty | B |
| A lady would avert her eyes | C |
| Taught by her caste to realise | C |
| That the male leg without disguise | C |
| Is not a thing of beauty | B |
| - | |
| Even when used to underpin | D |
| A dress reforming dandy | B |
| Tis still a prop of reddened skin | D |
| Mostly knock kneed or bandy | B |
| And oh my dear you must have known | E |
| How sensitive are those who own | E |
| These knobby knuckles thickly sown | E |
| With ebon hairs or sandy | B |
| - | |
| And oh my dear be you de Vere | F |
| Or just some saucy Sadie | B |
| To goggle when male shanks appear | F |
| Is positively shady | B |
| But should you giggle Oh dear Oh | G |
| No matter how grotesque the show | G |
| All proper gentlemen must know | G |
| You're low You ain't no lady | B |
| - | |
| But oh my dear and ah my dear | F |
| Learn etiquette For when dear | F |
| You in those fetching shorts appear | F |
| At tennis now and then dear | F |
| Men may stare hard they may stare long | H |
| Their heads a whirl their hearts a song | H |
| Yet save your scorn There's nothing wrong | H |
| They still are gentlemen dear | F |
