There’s a new heart awaiting a tenant, To whom shall its portals unclose? Dan Cupid is floating his pennant At The Sign of the Lily and Rose.

This heart is not offered for selling, The owner all freely bestows A hostelry fit for Love’s dwelling, At The Sign of the Lily and Rose.

There’s a happy smile caught in her dimple, That only a debutante shows; And chatter is guileless and simple At the Sign of the Lily and Rose.

She’s pleased with the veriest trifles, No artful bewitchment she knows; But Cupid a sigh or two stifles At The Sign of the Lily and Rose.

And, indeed, the poor fellow has reason As he thinks of the long string of beaux Who’ll successively stop for a season At The Sign of the Lily and Rose.
