Beautiful Faces 1920

Lonesome little shop girl
sitting home alone,
no boy about to take her out,
she is very pretty
but nobody knows
lonesome little Rose
hasn't any clothes.

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 its 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.
