THE RIGHT SORT OF GIRL
Backwards, turn backwards. 0 Time, in your flight, And give us a maiden dressed proper and right; We are so weary of switches and rats, Great Langtry clusters and peach-basket hats; Wads of jute hair in a horrible pile, Stacked in their heads to the height of a mile. Something is wrong with the maidens, we fear; Give us the girls as they used to appear. Give ns the girls we once knew of yore, Whose curls didn't come from a hairdressing store; Maidens who dressed in a simple view, And just as Dame Nature intended them to. Give us a girl with a figure her own, And fashioned divinely b.v Nature alone. Feminine styles are getting fiercer each year: Oh, give us the girls as they used to appear. Give us a girl with a figure her own, And fashioned divinely by Nature alone.
