In a mansion grand just over the wayB
Lives bonny beautiful DellC
You may have heard of this lady gayB
For she is a famous belleC
I live in a low cot oppositeD
You never have heard of meE
For when the lady moon shines brightF
Who would a pale star seeE
But ah well ah well I am happier far than DellC
As strange as that may beE

-
Dell has robes of the richest kindG
Pinks and purples and bluesH
And she worries her maid and frets her mindG
To know which one to chooseH
Which shall it be now silk or laceI
In which will I be most fairJ
She stands by the mirror with anxious faceI
And her maid looks on in despairJ
Ah well ah well I am not worried you see like DellC
For I have butD
oneK
to wearJ

Dell has lovers of every gradeL
Of every age and styleM
Suitors flutter about the maidL
And bask in her word and smileM
She keeps them all with a coquette's artN
As suits her mood or mirthO
And vainly wonders if in one heartN
Of all true love has birthO
Ah well ah well I never question myself like DellC
For IP
knowQ
a true heart's worthO

-
Pleasure to Dell seems stale and oldR
Often she sits and sighsS
Life to me is a tale untoldR
Each day is a glad surpriseS
Dell with marry of course some dayB
After her belleship is runK
She will cavil the matter in worldly wayB
And wed Dame Fortune's sonK
But ah well sweet to tell I shall not dally and choose like DellC
For I love and am loved byP
oneK
