  2. The Beaus of Whitehall

    Share Share Post
    It is really and truly perplexing,
    Sometimes how a matter falls out,
    The good looks of some are most vexing,
    Whilst others are left quiet without.
    Some say they have sweethearts too many,
    And cannot attend every call,
    While others who fail to find any,
    Among the Beaus of Whitehall
    Chorus
