Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEFGG| 'LIZA'S old man's perhaps a little shady | A |
| 'LIZA'S old woman's prone to booze and cringe | B |
| But 'LIZA deems herself a perfect lady | A |
| And proves it in her feathers and her fringe | B |
| For 'LIZA has a bloke her heart to cheer | C |
| With pearlies and a barrer and a jack | D |
| So all the vegetables of the year | C |
| Are duly represented on her back | D |
| Her boots are sacrifices to her hats | E |
| Which knock you speechless like a load of bricks | F |
| Her summer velvets dazzle WANSTEAD FLATS | E |
| And cost at times a good eighteen and six | F |
| Withal outside the gay and giddy whirl | G |
| 'LIZA'S a stupid straight hard working girl | G |
