[Pansy:] When I take a walk
you should hear the people talk
[Tim:] They say: "Here comes Pansy!"
[Pansy:] I go to ride, and I hear on ev'ry side:
[Petipas:] "That's she! That is Pansy!"
[Pansy:] And I feel a bit embarrassed at it all,
I do, it attracts so much attention
from the gossips, too,
When I appear, I always hear them call,
I do.
[Tim and Pet:] Hello! There's our Pansy!
There comes Pansy
who is strictly up to date
There comes Pansy
it will pay for you to wait,
Pansy is perfection
in her style and grace
and Pansy is the only girl
who really sets the pace.

[Pansy:] She was serious
but now it's diff'rent quite
Now she's frivolous
the Boulevard's delight.
Pansy is a daisy
so the critics say,
Oh, Pansy isn't what she was
in Ioway
[All:] Oh!
Here comes Pansy
who is strictly up to date
Here comes Pansy
it will pay for you to wait.
Pansy is a daisy
so the critics say,
Oh, Pansy isn't what she was
oh, not a bit like what she was
in Ioway...

[Pansy:] When I enter shops
ev'ry other shopper stops
[Tim:] And says: "Here comes Pansy!"
[Pansy:] When they see the cash
that I have to cut a dash
[Petipas:] They sigh to be Pansy!
[Pansy:] Other women watch so closely
all that I select,
for they know I lead the fashion
in a style correct.
and when I drive out
in the Bois with jewels bedecked,
[Tim and Pet:] They shout: "There goes Pansy!"
There comes Pansy
who is strictly up to date
There comes Pansy
it will pay for you to wait,
Pansy is perfection
in her style and grace
and Pansy is the only girl
who really sets the pace.

[Pansy:] She was serious
but now it's diff'rent quite
Now she's frivolous
the Boulevard's delight.
Pansy is a daisy
so the critics say,
Oh, Pansy isn't what she was
in Ioway
[All:] Oh!
Here comes Pansy
who is strictly up to date
Here comes Pansy
it will pay for you to wait.
Pansy is a daisy
so the critics say,
Oh, Pansy isn't what she was
oh, not a bit like what she was
in Ioway...
