Good afternoon, ladies.
May we present fash
ions to please you.
That is our intent.
First, may we show for that waltz round the town,
the latest thing in me ladies' evening gown.
Wait a minute now, something's wrong.
That kind of dancing just doesn't belong.
In my day, we never did it that way.
In my day, we used to swing and sway.
In my day we never did it this way
Where did I go wrong?
Now back to the show
A playsuit that's new
It's daring and bold
And just meant for you
Hold everything,
I know that's wrong
Won't you tell me now what's going on?
In my day we never did it that way
In my day we used to swing and sway
In my day, we never did it this way
Where did I go wrong?
Oh, now on with the show
If you want to impress
I know you'll enjoy this
lovely party dress
Stop this minute now,
that's all wrong
That's a party dress, not a sarong
In my day, we never did it that way
In my day, the hula was the way
In my day we never did it this way,
where did I go wrong?
Oh but of course the show, for you to please him,
here is a suit, it's just right for the swim
Wait a minute now, what's going on
You can't go swimming
when the water's gone
In my day we never did it that way
In my day we used to swing and sway
In my day we never did it this way
Where did I go wrong?
