    2.No matter for manners or style,No matter for birth or for fame,All these used to have something to doWith young ladies changing their name,Theres no reason now to despond,Or go and do any thing rash,For youll do though you cant raise a cent,If youll only raise a moustache! A moustache, a moustache, If youll only raise a moustache.

    3.Your head may be thick as a block,And empty as any football,Oh! your eyes may be green as the grassYour heart just as hard as a wall.Yet take the advice that I give,Youll soon gain affection and cash,And will be all the rage with the girls,If youll only get a moustache, A moustache, a moustache, If youll only get a moustache.

  • 4.I once was in sorrow and tearsBecause I was jilted you know,So right down to the river I ranTo quickly dispose of my woe,A good friend he gave me adviceAnd timely prevented the splash,Now at home Ive a wife and ten heirs,And all through a handsome moustache, A moustache, a moustache, And all through a handsome a moustache.
