They're Getting Shorter All The Time 1917 Ziegfeld Follies

Have you ever thought it strange
the way that styles all change
you have noticed I suppose.
I'm going to prove to you
All that I say is true
take for instance ladies clothes.

They're getting shorter all the time,
shorter and shorter all the time.
Back in the long ago
only the shows would show
but it's so diff'rent today.
Nowadays girls to entice
are showing more for the price.
They're getting so high
Lord knows when they'll stop
and now they're beginning
to cut from the top.
Some day like Eve they'll wear a leaf
they're getting shorter all the time.

They're getting shorter all the time,
shorter and shorter all the time.
Back in the long ago
only the shows would show
but it's so diff'rent today.
Nowadays girls to entice
are showing more for the price.
They're getting so high
Lord knows when they'll stop
and now they're beginning
to cut from the top.
Some day like Eve they'll wear a leaf
they're getting shorter all the time.
