American Old Time Song Lyrics: 41 When The Crinoline Comes In

Theater, Music-Hall, Nostalgic, Irish & Historic Old Songs, Volume 41

When the Crinoline Comes In.
By Gardner Minard.

This earth will be for women,
When the crinoline comes in;
The men must go in swimming,
When the crinoline comes in;
They will reach beyond the gutter,
Leaving no room for a cutter,
While the men will loudly mutter,
When the crinoline comes in.

There'll be no chance to flirt.
When the crinoline comes in;
You can only reach her skirt,
When the crinoline comes in;
When she goes to mash at night,
With her dresses broad and white,
Men will be out of sight,
When the crinoline comes in.

Where'll be the copper tall,
When the crinoline comes in?
They'll have no show at all.
When the crinoline comes in.
Carpenters will have a treat,
And their work it won't be beat,
For all doors will grow ten feet,
When the crinoline comes in.

There'll be no room in the car,
When the crinoline comes in;
There'll be no room at home for pa,
When the crinoline comes in.
When out shopping they are bent,
And rain from clouds to earth is sent,
She'll Tam it up and make a tent,
When the crinoline comes in.
