dinah shore - buttons & bows lyrics

b-ttons and bows
dinah sh-r-
– from “the paleface”
– words and music by jay livingston and ray evans

(spoken:) a western ranch is just a branch of nowhere junction to me.
give me the city where living’s pretty and the gals wear finery.

east is east and west is west
and the wrong one i have chose
let’s go where i’ll keep on wearin’
those frills and flowers and b-ttons and bows
rings and things and b-ttons and bows
don’t bury me in this prairie
take me where the cement grows
let’s move down to some big town
where they love a gal by the cut o’ her clothes
and i’ll stand out
in b-ttons and bows
i’ll love you in buckskin
or skirts that i’ve homespun
but i’ll love ya’ longer, stronger where
yer friends don’t tote a gun
my bones denounce the buckboard bounce
and the cactus hurts my toes
let’s vamoose where gals keep usin’
those silks and satins and linen that shows
and i’m all yours in b-ttons and bows
gimme eastern trimmin’ where women are women
in high silk hose and peek-a-boo clothes
and french perfume that rocks the room
and i’m all yours in b-ttons and bows
