[Marie:]
I have met a man.
[Girls:]
You have met a man.
[Marie:]
I will draw him as I saw him,
That is if I can!
[Girls:]
You're the smartest lady artist,
We're sure that you can!
[Marie:]
He has got a nose,
[Girls:]
So we should suppose,
[Marie:]
Eyes with lashes.
Dots and dashes have to stand for those.
[Alexis:]
She is fetching
When she's sketching,
What a lovely pose!
Colour like a rose!
What a lovely pose!
[Marie:]
That's a vignette
Of the man that I met,
It's a face I shall never forget!
Though I haven't quite
Got the eye-brows right,
It's a bit of clever black and white.
[Marie:]
He has lips like this,
[Girls:]
Are they nice to kiss?
[Marie:]
Don't be horrid!
But his forehead
Is something like this!
[Girls:]
To discover such a lover
Would be simply bliss!
[Marie:]
That's his curly hair
[Girls:]
All those twiddles there.
[Marie:]
I have black'd it,
But, in fact, it is extremely fair.
[Alexis:]
Should it strike me
As too like me,
I must have a care,
Yes, I will beware,
I must have a care!
[Marie:]
That's a vignette
Of the man that I met,
It's a face I shall never forget!
If my name now I write
That will make it quite
Worth a hundred guineas Black and white.
[Girls:]
That's a vignette
Of the man she has met,
It's a face...
[Marie:]
It's a face I shall never forget!
[Girls:]
If your name now you write
That will make it quite
Worth a hundred guineas...
[Alexis:]
Worth a hundred guineas
[All:]
Black and white, Black and white.
