That beauty lies within the eyes
Is what some folks declare,
But that's not wise your beauty lies
In how you wear your hair;
For instance one who has
a head of wondrous form and beauty
Should take good care
to fix her hair
To show it it's her duty.
And that is something that is done
To marked perfection by me
And gives you what is known to one
The knot that's call the Psyche.

Hair dressing is now an art
That comes from La Belle Paree
And the skillful maid
plays a leading part
at the head of Society.
I'll go to your home
with a brush and comb
If you'll send your coupé for me.
Peroxide applied
if you wish it dyed
by Mamselle Sally.

Now if your face has not the trace
Of lines or wrinkles there
And the expression on your face
Is like a baby stare;
If you're the style
that when you smile
You show a dolly dimple,
Then you should have your hair appear
Like your expression, simple.
And for the purpose there's a mode
Named after its inventor,
It's called the Cleo de Nerode
Or parted in the center.

Hair dressing is now an art
That comes from La Belle Paree
And the skillful maid
plays a leading part
at the head of Society.
I'll make you appear
like a perfect dear
If you'll pay the required fees.
You'll get such a wave
as the sea might crave
At Mamsell Sally's.

Oh nowadays they're many ways
Within the fair one's reach
To bring upon herself the phrase of
"Gee, but she's a peach!"
We'll fancy now you have a brow
So lovely you can feel it,
If that's the case you will allow
It's foolish to conceal it.
And if you wear a rat
and your Fair locks come off and hang up.
I'll dress them a la pompadour
Or what you might call "bang up."

Hair dressing is now an art
That comes from La Belle Paree
And the skillful maid
plays a leading part
at the head of Society.
If you were not there
when they gave out hair
Just bring your poor head to me.
A fully grown crop
planted right on top
By Mamselle Sally.
