Pemmy was a pretty girl,
But Fanny was a better;
Pemmy looked like any churl,
When little Tommy let her.

b
Pemmy had a pretty nose,
But Fanny had a better;
Pemmy oft would come to blows,
But Tommy would not let her.

c
Pemmy had a pretty doll,
But Fanny had a better;
Pemmy chattered like a poll,
When little Tommy let her.

d
Pemmy had a pretty song,
But Fanny had a better;
Pemmy would sing all day long,
But Tommy would not let her.

e
Pemmy loved a pretty lad,
And Fanny loved a better;
And Pemmy wanted for to wed,
But Tommy would not let her.
