No. 20 - Song - Lady Rosabelle and Workgirls - Miss Blush!
| Lady Rosabelle: | There lived a little lady Just a hundred years ago, |
| Workgirls: | Just a hundred years ago, |
| Lady Rosabelle: | And anything the least bit shady Used to shock her so! |
| Workgirls: | Yes, it used to shock her so! |
| Lady Rosabelle: | Suppose you mentioned stocking, To her cheeks the blood would rush, |
| Workgirls: | To her cheeks the blood would rush, |
| Lady Rosabelle: | She'd say How very shocking! So they nicknamed her Miss Blush! |
| Workgirls: | So they nicknamed her Miss Blush! |
| Lady Rosabelle: | Oh, Miss Blush was such a proper young maid, All the chair legs she used to drape with cretonne! Some had a skirt of flannelette on! But she was quite a little fraud, I'm afraid, For when stories around the room were rushing, Miss Blush was not the least bit crushing; If there was anyone not blushing, Miss Blush would be the one! |
| Workgirls: | Oh, Miss Blush was such a proper young maid, All the chair legs she used to drape with cretonne! Some had a skirt of flannelette on! But she was quite a little fraud, I'm afraid, For when stories around the room were rushing, Miss Blush was not the least bit crushing; If there was anyone not blushing, Miss Blush would be the one! |
| Lady Rosabelle: | Miss Blush, I am afraid, is Just at present far too meek; |
| Workgirls: | Just at present far too meek; |
| Lady Rosabelle: | With up-to-date young ladies There's less blush but far more cheek! |
| Workgirls: | There's less blush but far more cheek! |
| Lady Rosabelle: | If quite alone you get her, You'll observe without a doubt, |
| Workgirls: | You'll observe without a doubt, |
| Lady Rosabelle: | She isn't any better, But she doesn't get found out! |
| Workgirls: | But she doesn't get found out! |
| Lady Rosabelle: | Our Miss Blush is not so proper today, For I'm sorry to say she's not too modest; Sometimes her ways are quite the oddest! When she comes out, she comes out all the way! Ev'ry ev'ning! at the Savoy you'll meet her, Dressed in a row of pearls from Streeter. Could any frock have been much neater One hundred years ago? |
