Face the Music movie - Crinoline Days lyrics

rate me

Song by Irving Berlin<br /><br>

[Verse:]<br>

Back to the olden<br>

Days that were golden<br>

Memory often strays<br>

Before anyone could gaze<br>

At Molly's and May's<br>

Little ankle displays<br>

Time with its changes<br>

Often arranges<br>

Styles that become the craze<br>

But I am yearning<br>

To be returning<br>

Back to those crinoline days<br>

<br>

[Refrain:]<br>

In those dear old crinoline days<br>

Old fashioned people with their old fashioned ways<br>

<br>

When the girl a fellow courted<br>

Was the girl he married and supported<br>

<br>

Back in eighteen seventy-four<br>

Rosy complexions weren't bought in a store<br>

<br>

Granny and grand-daddy longingly gaze<br>

Back to those crinoline days<br>

<br>
