| Jolly little girl she is | H |

| Having nowhere else we two | M |
| Took possession of the stairs | L |
| I was on the lower step | N |
| Molly on the next above | O |

| Hand in hand through life we'd walk | T |

| Molly Meade well I declare | A2 |
| Who'd have thought of seeing you | M |
| After what occurred last night | C |
| Out here on the Avenue | M |
| Oh you awful awful girl | B2 |
| There don't blush I saw it all | C2 |
| Saw all what Ahem last night | C |
| At the Mather's in the hall | C2 |
| Oh you horrid where were you | M |
| Wasn't he the biggest goose | D2 |
| Most men must be caught but he | J |
| Ran his own neck in the noose | D2 |
| I was almost dead to dance | I |
| I'd have done it if I could | E2 |
| But old Grey said I must stop | F2 |
| And I promised Ma I would | E2 |
| So I looked up sweet and said | B |
| That I'd rather talk to him | G2 |
| Hope he didn't see me laugh | Q |
| Luckily the lights were dim | G2 |
| My how he did squeeze my hand | P |
| And he looked up in my face | H2 |
| With his lovely big brown eyes | U |
| Really it's a dreadful case | H2 |
| 'Earnest ' I should think he was | I2 |
| Why I thought I'd have to laugh | Q |
| When he kissed a flower he took | J2 |
| Looking oh like such a calf | Q |
| I suppose he's got it now | K2 |
| In a wine glass on his shelves | L2 |
| It's a mystery to me | J |
| Why men will deceive themselves | L2 |
| 'Saw him kiss me ' Oh you wretch | Z |
| Well he begged so hard for one | A |
| And I thought there'd no one know | M2 |
| So I let him just for fun | A |
| I know it really wasn't right | C |
| To trifle with his feelings dear | N2 |
| But men are such stuck up things | O2 |
| He'll recover never fear | N2 |
