| Ladies: | A modiste modeste, She has done her best To make us look all most exquisitely dressed! And though you go searching from West to East, You'll never find such a modeste modiste! That modeste modiste Has prepared this feast, It rests with the Rabbi, the Parson, or Priest, For when you are married and settled and blessed, Your husband can pay the modiste modeste. |
| Solo: | Wear alpacas or drills! With no flounces or frills, If you're in for a day of exertion, But suppose you would hark To the Salon or park, Wear a something with creamy insertion; Though a mousseline-de-soie Is the thing for the Bois, And is sure to excite admiration, Still a girl may emerge In the simplest of serge, If it's built on a silk foundation. |
| All: | Though a mousseline-de-soie Is the thing for the Bois, And is sure to excite admiration, Still a girl may emerge In the simplest of serge, If it's built on a silk foundation. |
| Solo: | Now a taffeta plain Or a satin à laine Is effective with lace appliqué, But I'm perfectly sure In a chiffon velours I could conquer the world in a day; And I can't understand The dismay in the land At the War Office administration. For I heard from a man Who'd inspected the plan, That it's built on a silk foundation. |
| Chorus: | Oh! she can't understand The dismay in the land At the War Office administration. For she heard from a man Who'd inspected the plan, That it's built on a silk foundation. Built on silk foundation. |
