Since Mother Eve in the garden long ago Started the fashion; fashion's been the fashion She wore a strip that has mystified the priests Still every season brought a change of green She'd stare if she came to Town What would Mother Eve think of my new Parisian gown?
Chorus: As I take my morning promenade Quite a fashion card, on the promenade Now I don't mind nice boys staring hard If it satisfies their desire Do you think that my dress is a little bit Just a little bit - not too much of it? If it shows my shape just a little bit That's the little bit the boys admire.
Fancy the girls in the prehistoric days Had to wear a bearskin to cover up their fair skin Lately Salome has danced to be sure Wearing just a row of beads and not much more Fancy me dressing like that too I'm sure the “Daily Mirror” man would want an interview.
Chorus:
I've heard that grandmothers wore a crinoline Then came the bustle - Oh wasn't that a tussle Women were tied up and loaded with dress But fashion now decrees that she must wear much less Each year her costume gets more brief I wonder when we'll be back to the good old-fashioned leaf.
