Buttons and Bows |
BUTTONS AND BOWS |
Dinah Shore |
— from «The Paleface» |
— words and music by Jay Livingston and Ray Evans |
(Spoken:) A western ranch is just a branch of Nowhere Junction to me. |
Give me the city where living’s pretty and the gals wear finery. |
East is east and west is west |
And the wrong one I have chose |
Let’s go where I’ll keep on wearin' |
Those frills and flowers and buttons and bows |
Rings and things and buttons and bows |
Don’t bury me in this prairie |
Take me where the cement grows |
Let’s move down to some big town |
Where they love a gal by the cut o' her clothes |
And I’ll stand out |
In buttons and bows |
I’ll love you in buckskin |
Or skirts that I’ve homespun |
But I’ll love ya' longer, stronger where |
Yer friends don’t tote a gun |
My bones denounce the buckboard bounce |
And the cactus hurts my toes |
Let’s vamoose where gals keep usin' |
Those silks and satins and linen that shows |
And I’m all yours in buttons and bows |
Gimme eastern trimmin' where women are women |
In high silk hose and peek-a-boo clothes |
And French perfume that rocks the room |
And I’m all yours in buttons and bows |
