In a quiet little village, not so very far away<br>There lived a pretty maiden just as sweet as flowers of May<br>And everybody said this little maid was so demure<br>That she would be an angel certain sure<br>She was quite a model of propriety and dress<br>Always blushed when spoken to and answered no or yes<br>Never had a beau or went to parties no indeed<br>Never saw a novel she would read<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Chorus<br>Henrietta, you are saintly<br>Always smile so very faintly<br>All your manners are so quaintly<br>When you wear the wings up yonder<br>Will you be so good I wonder<br>Henrietta, I declare it<br>All my life is yours I swear it<br>If you would consent to share it<br>Henrietta, have you met her? Hen- (Who?) -rietta<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">2. Henrietta reached the city, and she lived there just a year<br>Up went the price of diamonds and even bread was dear<br>Soon all the chappies were in pawn, policemen all resigned<br>The midway dancers soon were out of mind<br>At the races every horse she played was sure to win<br>Champagne by the basket, just to wash her tresses in<br>Paint a bright vermillion on the Tenderloin she spread<br>When the day would dawn, she&#8217;d go to bed<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Chorus<br>Henrietta, you&#8217;re a corker<br>You&#8217;re a wonder as a talker<br>When you fleece an old New Yorker<br>First you take him, then you break him<br>Then you do your best to shake him<br>Henrietta, you&#8217;re a wonder<br>Bank accounts you smash like thunder<br>Never known to make a blunder<br>Henrietta, have you met her? Hen- (Who?) -rietta<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">3. Henrietta went to Europe with some other high-toned girls<br>But they were never &#8220;in it&#8221; with the noble Dukes and Earls<br>She might have been a Princess but she played a different game<br>They soon found out the reason why she came<br>She had heard of foreign counts who have been bought and sold<br>She believed in keeping circulating all this gold<br>So instead of bringing home a lot of titled trash<br>She came back with every kind of cash<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Chorus<br>Henrietta, you&#8217;re a winner<br>All their pocket books are thinner<br>Since they took you out to dinner<br>You are &#8220;up to date&#8221; completely<br>For you fooled them all so neatly<br>When you go back to Hoboken<br>You will take there as a token<br>All the &#8220;Johnnies&#8221; hearts you&#8217;ve broken<br>Henrietta, have you met her?
