Beware of Pink Pyjamas 1916

In a boudoir lived
a little old night cap,
so lonely,
one that Granny loved
in the days of yore;
Underneath an old chair,
lived a very old pair
worn out slippers
Dad wore before the war.
Ev'ry night a conversation
these two relics hold,
What the night cap
tells the slipper
is a tale of old.

Beware of pink pyjamas
I think that pink pyjamas
have a meaning all their own.
When you say "nighty, nighty"
They start in acting flighty,
better let the pink alone.
Trust in the white ones
they're the right goodnight ones,
Blue ones are true ones,
and beside at eventide,
Better beware of, no,
I don't mean a pair of
pink pyjamas,
but the girlie inside.

In that boudoir
hung an oldfashioned night gown,
neglected,
List'ning to the story the night cap told;
With its ribbons faded,
left where Grandma laid it,
In the days when nighties
were not so bold.
All its faded "folderols"
were blushing rosy red,
Seemed as if it understood
all that the night cap said.
