17. ALICE BLUE GOWN 1919 |
IN MY SWEET LITTLE ALICE BLUE GOWN,
WHEN I FIRST WANDERED DOWN
INTO TOWN.
I WAS BOTH PROUD AND SHY,
AS I FELT EVERY EYE,
BUT IN EVERY SHOP WINDOW
I’D PRIMP PASSING BY.
THEN IN MANNER OF FASHION I’D FROWN.
AND THE WORLD SEEMED TO SMILE
ALL AROUND.
TILL IT WILTED, I WORE IT.
I’LL ALWAYS ADORE IT,
MY SWEET LITTLE ALICE BLUE GOWN.
