Pretty Things - 1924 - Rose Marie

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 29 Nov 2001

[Girls:] If a man should ask
the surest way of charming a maid,
he'd present a task not difficult,
but easy essayed.
[Rose Marie:] He need not be ornamental,
but he must be brave, and gentle.
Muscle in his arm,
to keep me safe from harm.

[Girls:] Pretty things,
[Rose Marie:] Where is the girl
who can resist them?
[Girls:] Pretty things!
[Rose Marie:] Unhappy girlie
who has missed them!
[All:] Gossamer laces,
silk and satiny graces,
how they fill her with joy and thrill her!

[Girls:] Pretty things,
[Rose Marie:] That show her charms
and yet enfold them!
[Girls:] Pretty things,
[Rose Marie:] To wear that man may
not behold them!
[All:] Love comes enduringly
to her who alluringly
can learn to wear
life's pretty things.

[Chorus:] Pretty things,
Where is the girl who can resist them?
Pretty things!
Unhappy girlie who has missed them!
Gossamer laces, silk and satiny graces,
how they fill her with joy and thrill her!

Pretty things,
That show her charms and yet enfold them!
Pretty things,
To wear that man may not behold them!
Love comes enduringly to her who alluringly
can learn to wear life's pretty things.

[Rose Marie and Chorus:] Pretty things,
Where is the girl who can resist them?
Pretty things!
Unhappy girlie who has missed them!
Gossamer laces, silk and satiny graces,
how they fill her with joy and thrill her!

Pretty things,
That show her charms and yet enfold them!
Pretty things,
To wear that man may not behold them!
Love comes enduringly to her who alluringly
can learn to wear life's pretty things.
