Vanity Fair 1903

by James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 14 Apr 2005

Put on your silken gown, my dear,
put on your hat so gay,
for we are off together
to London Town today.
And wear a snowy ruffle,
and dainty gloves as well,
for that's the way in London
a lady one can tell!

Hey ho, off we go,
walk sedately to and fro,
look not loving or they'll stare,
that's the way of Vanity Fair.
Hey ho, off we go,
walk sedately to and fro,
look not loving or they'll stare,
that's the way, the way of Vanity Fair.

Put on your white sun bonnet, dear,
put on your woodland dress,
we'll give the hours together
to happy idleness.
I'll gather sweetest roses
that sparkle wet with dew,
that blossom in the sunshine,
and give them all to you!

Hey ho, that's the way,
we will live and love today,
leave to others foolish care,
far away from Vanity Fair.
Hey ho, that's the way,
we will live and love today,
leave to others foolish care,
far away, away from Vanity Fair!
