Rhyme Scheme: AABCDDEEAAFGEEHHIIJG IIKK| Bring down the moon for genteel Janet | A |
| She's too refined for this gross planet | A |
| She wears garments and you wear clothes | B |
| You buy stockings she purchases hose | C |
| She say That is correct and you say Yes | D |
| And she disrobes and you undress | D |
| Confronted by a mouse or moose | E |
| You turn green she turns chartroose | E |
| Her speech is new minted freshly quarried | A |
| She has a fore head you have a forehead | A |
| Nor snake nor slowworm draweth nigh her | F |
| You go to bed she doth retire | G |
| To Janet births are blessed events | E |
| And odors that you smell she scents | E |
| Replete she feels when her food is yummy | H |
| Not in the stomach but the tummy | H |
| If urged some novel step to show | I |
| You say Like this she says Like so | I |
| Her dear ones don't die but pass away | J |
| Beneath her formal is lonjeray | G |
| Of refinement she's a fount or fountess | I |
| And that is why she's now a countess | I |
| She was asking for the little girls' room | K |
| And a flunky though she said the earl's room | K |
