| BEST Becky Sharp pray do not carp | C |

| 'Man are you mad this Becky bad | I |
| Why she's a visionary darling ' | - |
| - | |
| Is't so ''Tis so ' Your glasses ring | E |
| Ring then and toast the bright ideal | M |
| Ah bring the ideal Beckies bring | E |
| And take away the Beckies real | M |
