2. A chiefly British word for the vulva. Used as a euphemism in music hall songs. E.g. Keep Your Hand On Your HA'PENNY purported to provide tongue-in-cheek advice from "Mom" to daughter Molly on how to keep out of trouble on dates. The refrain of that song ran\n\nKeep your hand on your ha'penny\r\nCover it well with your palm\r\nKeep your hand on your ha'penny\r\nAnd Molly will come to no harm.\n> KEEP YOUR HAND ON YOUR HA'PENNY\n> When Molly began to go courting\n> Her mother was anxious to tell\n> How certain young fellas would want her\n> to stray down the pathway to 'ell\n> So Molly's old ma used to say:\n> cho: Keep your hand on your ha'penny\n> Cover it well with your palm\n> Keep your hand on your ha'penny\n> And Molly will come to no harm\n> They'll hug you and kiss you so sweetly\n> They'll make you feel ever so nice,\n> But handle the fellas discretely\n> And follow this simple advice:\n> When Molly and I went out courting\n> I told her she'd nothing to fear\n> But down in the meadow last Sunday\n> I whispered these words in her ear\n> Take your hand off your ha'penny\n> Look into my bonny blue eyes\n> Take your hand off your ha'penny\n> And I'll give you --- a lovely surprise!\n
