The Manicure Maid 1901

In a manicure shop
dwelt a manicure maid
and she trimmed such a lot of nails,
She burnished the fingers
of ev'ry grade
while her cust'mers told their tales.
And many a comical tale she heard
while her buffer went one, two, three,
But the dear little maid
said ne'er a word
but manicured faithfully.

The manicure maid is the maid for me
as she fingers your fingers fearlessly
and her little buff buffer goes one, two, three
Oh the dear little manicure maid.
The manicure maid has a wonderful grip,
as she catches your fingers by the tip, tip, tip,
and the tiny wee scissors go snip, snip, snip
Oh! the dear little manicure maid

To the shop came a nobleman proud one day
and she focussed her eye on him,
But never a word did the nobleman say,
but he gave her his hand to trim.
She burnished and burnished
this nobleman grand,
'till his heart began to leap,
And such an improvement
she made in his hand
he gave her that hand to keep.

The manicure maid is the maid for me
as she fingers your fingers fearlessly
and her little buff buffer goes one, two, three
Oh the dear little manicure maid.
The manicure maid has a wonderful grip,
as she catches your fingers by the tip, tip, tip,
and the tiny wee scissors go snip, snip, snip
Oh! the dear little manicure maid
