late, as a waiter, I ran up and down,

With bottles glasses, claret,

rum and brandy—O!

But now an Officer I'm grown,

I'll have servants of my own,

And be among the Ladies

quite the Dandy—O.

My cravat now sticks out

like to a pigeon's breast.

My hat so smart my sword

so long, so handy—O:

like a sheep's tail at each ear,

my hair's completely drest,

and my military cue

you see's the Dandy—O.

As my legs are not quite so straight,

I'll disguise them in boots,

Then who can tell that I am

so very bandy—O.

And thus this failing is hid,

in many raw recruits

so their legs they all appear

to be the Dandy—O.
