Dancing Gown. 1945.

Seq - Dr. J.Pitt-Payne. Kar - Bunty Pritchard Jones. Nov 2000.

My girl has sent me a letter,
she writes to me to say,

She found some junk in a battered trunk
the other day.

From layers of tissue paper,
she took out ev'ry fold

of a dancing dress that you'd never guess
was over five years old.

My girl's getting out her dancing gown,
she says she would let me down,

if I got back into town,
and she had no gown.

My girl's getting out her dancing shoes,
she says for standing in queues,
you don't use white satin shoes,

and that silk stockings, too,
will only do for parties,

although she's saved one pair
so I know where her heart is.

My girl's getting out her dancing gown,
I know she won't bring it down,
Till I'm in town!

My girl's getting out her dancing gown,

if I got back into town,
and she had no gown.

and that silk stockings, too,
will only do for parties,

although she's saved one pair
so I know where her heart is.

My girl's getting out her dancing gown,
I know she won't bring it down,
Till I'm in town!
