A Citizens Wife, I am, I declare it, I solemnly swear it; I lead a sweet life In Pleasure each day; For I live at my ease, And can walk where I please, To Play-house I go; And as for my Husband, And as for my Husband, He dare not say no. Five Hundred Pounds, A Portion I brought him, And faith I have taught him His duty, and found Him willing to please, Like a Servant I have, My Admirine Slave, He is brought to my bow, If I'll have Rich Jewels, If I'll have Rich Jewels, He dare not say no. My Doting Old Man Is lately turn'd Quaker, And I Cuckold maker, May he do what he can, My Frolicks I'll have, Rich Topins I'll wear, And Powdered hair, Like a Lady I'll go, My Husband the Quaker, My Husband the Quaker, He dare not say no. In London I dwell, Where I at my pleasure, Do Revel in Treasure, I know very well What pleases me best, If I want a Rich Gown, Nay the best in the Town, To the Taylors I go, My Husband the Quaker, My Husband the Quaker, He dare not say no.
I have been well bred, And therefore dear Neighbour, With no kind of labour I trouble my head, But take my delight; I will still have the Reigns, Let my Husband take pains, While in pleasures I flow, It is but his Duty, It is but his Duty, He dare not say no. When ever I dine, Rich Tent with Canary, Nay Rennish and Sherry, And all sorts of Wine I have at the Board, As I am a true wife, O the Liquor of life I love to see flow, The Quaker my Husband, The Quaker my Husband, He dare not say no. What if a brisk Blade Should hapen to meet me, And profer to treat me Should I be afraid to venture with him, By my truth no not I, But will freely comply, To the Tavern I go, The Quaker my Husband, The Quaker my Husband, He dare not say no. It is not Yea and Nay Shall e'er over rule me, Or any ways fool me, I will have my way As sure as a Club, Shall my Beautiful Charms, In an Old Quackers Arms Be frozen, faith no, I will have my Humours, I will have my Humours, Abroad I will go.
