@amyparrott According to my mother (born in 1917) it was Mary! We're in Manchester, England. The words were a bit different too. - After the ball was over, Mary took out her glass eye. Put her false leg in the corner, corked up her bottle of dye. Put her false teeth in a basin, hung up her wig on the wall. And all that was left went to bye bye's, after the ball. - Whatever words you use it's a great song - so funny!
According to my grandfather in the hills of Kentucky, it was Mary that took out her glass eye, but that could be because his wife (grandma) was named Mary and it probably annoyed the hell out of her.
