Crinoline Days 1922 from the 2nd Annual Music Box Revue 1922-23

Back to the olden days
that were golden mmemory often strays.
Before anyone could gaze
at Molly and May's little ankle displays.
Time with its changes
often arranges styles that become the craze.
But I am yearning to be returning
back to those crinoline days.

In those dear old Crinoline days,
old fashioned people with their old fashioned ways.
When the girl a fellow courted
was the girl he married and supported.
Back in eighteen seventy four
Rosy complexions weren't brought in a store,
Granny and grand daddy longingly gaze
back to those Crinoline days.

In those dear old Crinoline days,
old fashioned people with their old fashioned ways.
When the girl a fellow courted
was the girl he married and supported.
Back in eighteen seventy four
Rosy complexions weren't brought in a store,
Granny and grand daddy longingly gaze
back to those Crinoline days.
