BUTTONS AND BOWS<br />

Dinah Shore<br />

- from "The Paleface"<br />

- words and music by Jay Livingston and Ray Evans<br />

<br />

(Spoken:) A western ranch is just a branch of Nowhere Junction to me.<br />

Give me the city where living's pretty and the gals wear finery.<br />

<br />

East is east and west is west<br />

And the wrong one I have chose<br />

Let's go where I'll keep on wearin'<br />

Those frills and flowers and buttons and bows<br />

Rings and things and buttons and bows<br />

Don't bury me in this prairie<br />

Take me where the cement grows<br />

Let's move down to some big town<br />

Where they love a gal by the cut o' her clothes<br />

And I'll stand out<br />

In buttons and bows<br />

I'll love you in buckskin<br />

Or skirts that I've homespun<br />

But I'll love ya' longer, stronger where<br />

Yer friends don't tote a gun<br />

My bones denounce the buckboard bounce<br />

And the cactus hurts my toes<br />

Let's vamoose where gals keep usin'<br />

Those silks and satins and linen that shows<br />

And I'm all yours in buttons and bows<br />

Gimme eastern trimmin' where women are women<br />

In high silk hose and peek-a-boo clothes<br />

And French perfume that rocks the room<br />

And I'm all yours in buttons and bows
