VERSE: Lonesome little shop girl sitting home alone,/Nobody about to take her out/She is very pretty/But nobody knows,/Lonesome little Rose/Hasn’t any clothes: REFRAIN: Beautiful faces need beautiful clothes,/Satins and laces nice ribbons and bows/An ankle may be a joy/But any boy who gazes, won’t warble it’s praises,/Unless it’s covered by attractive hose./Many a shop girl whom nobody knows/Would be the top girl in musical shows/If she were dressed in the best from her head right down to her toes,/For beautiful faces need beautiful clothes. | |
