Theater, Music-Hall, Nostalgic, Irish & Historic Old Songs, Volume 39
OH! LOOK AT HER CRINOLINE.
Copyright, 1893, by Frank Tousey.
Words and Music by Felix McGlennon.
Just now they are shouting in Paris, the gay,
Oh, look at her crinoline!
If it comes over here everybody will say,
Oh, look at her crinoline!
And greatly, I fear, we shall see very soon,
Girls walking about in a whacking balloon,
then the cry will go 'round night and morning and noon,
Oh, look at her crinoline!
Chorus,
Oh, boys, gaze upon her crinoline! Oh, boys, doesn't she look green?
Every girl you meet spreads herself all o'er the street, all through the crinoline!
Now when a young lady is walking about,
Oh, look at her crinoline!
It makes all the impudent boys loudly shout,
Oh, look at her crinoline!
She turns up her nose and she tightens her lips,
And then her fine skirts in a passion she grips,
And when tra la la Over the gutter she skips,
Oh, look at her crinoline!
Chorus.
Oh, boys, gaae upon her crinoline! Oh, boys, doesn't she look green?
then she trips And falls, and the air is full of squalls, all through the crinoline!
Now when a man's wifey is in a big rage,
Oh, look at her crinoline!
If she in a battle with him should engage,
Then look at her crinoline!
And while she is dragging him 'round by the hair,
And with his fat head she is wiping each stair,
And flying about here and there, everywhere,
Oh, look at her crinoline!
Chorus.
Oh, boys, gaze upon her crinoline! Oh, boys, doesn't she look green?
And be tries to grin as the steel runs in his shin, all through the crinoline.
Now when a young lady climbs over a stile,
Oh, look at her crinoline!
And when she turns 'round with an Innocent smile,
Oh, look at her crinoline!
But when she goes out with dear Charley or Nell,
Or gets on a 'bus-well, I'm not going to tell,
But I'm sure that the boys will cry out And yell,
Oh, look at her crinoline!
Chorus.
Oh, boys, gaze upon her crinoline! Oh, boys, doesn't she look green?
If the wind should blow, would a poor girl have a show? Not on her crinoline!
