[Verse 1]
We came to town to see
That old tattooed lady
She was a sight to see
Tattooed from head to knee
My uncle Ned was there
He came to gape and stare
"I never!" he declared
"Seen such a freak so fair!"

[Bridge]
And on her jaw was the Royal Flying Corps
And on her back was a Union Jack
How could you ask for more?

[Verse 2]
All up and down her spine
Was the queen's own guard in line
And all around her hips
Sailed a fleet of battle ships
And over her left kidney
Was a bird's eye view of Sydney
But what we liked best was upon her chest
Our little home in Waikiki
