[Verse:]
|
Lonesome little shopgirl
|
Sitting home alone
|
No boy about
|
To take her out
|
She is very pretty
|
But nobody knows
|
Lonesome little Rose
|
Hasn't any clothes
|
|
[Refrain:]
|
Beautiful faces need beautiful clothes
|
Satins and laces, nice ribbons and bows
|
|
An ankle may be a joy
|
But any boy who gazes
|
Won't warble its praises
|
Unless it's covered by attractive hose
|
|
Many a shopgirl whom nobody knows
|
Would be the top girl in musical shows
|
|
If she were dressed in the best
|
From her head right down to her toes
|
For beautiful faces need beautiful clothes
|
