When I Take My Morning Promenade by Marie Lloyd Lyrics
[Verse One]
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 littlе bit the boys admire!
[Verse Two]
Fancy the girls in thе 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]
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!
[Verse Three]
I've heard that grandmother wore a crinoline
Then came the bustle - oh! Wasn't that a tussle?
Women were tied up and loaded up with dress
But fashion now decrees that she must wear much less
Each year her costume grows more brief
I wonder when we'll be back to the good old-fashioned leaf! Oh ho!
[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!
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!
