> "Have I told you, fella
> She's got the sweetest columella
> And a septum that's swept 'em all on their ass;
> Each casual chondrectomy
> Meant only a big fat check to me
> Till I sawed this osteoclastible lass:
>
> (Refrain:)
> Till you've cut into Esther
> You've cut nothing at all;
> She's one of the best, Thir,
> To her nose I'm in thrall.
>
> She never acts nasty
> But lies still as a rock;
> She loves my rhinoplasty
> But the others are schlock.
>
> Esther is passive,
> Her aplomb is massive,
> How could any poor ass've
> Ever passed her by?
>
> And let me to you say
> She puts Ireland to shame;
> For her nose is retroussé
> And Esther's her name...."
