No. 13 - Song - The Rainy Daisies
| Girls: | Is there any earthly reason, When we strike the rainy season, Any one should think it treason to display our feet? If we show a bit of stocking, Is it anything so shocking That the men should all come flocking till they block the crowded street? Of all the modern crazes None has a neater basis Than the dainty rainy daisies When the day is dark. For whoever on us gazes Is lavish with his praises As each maid her flounces raises Just above high water mark. Whenever we spy a cloud in the sky You'll hear the daisies say: "We got to go out today" Though, of course, we hate display, It's surely no harm to show calves on a farm Or in town, if we take it by storm. If our skirts we raise, Why should anyone gaze? Why, it's merely a matter of form. |
