I Can Get It For You Wholesale movie - BALLAD OF THE GARMENT TRADE lyrics

rate me

<br>

If you don't want to get nervous<br>

Do yourself a great big service<br>

Stay away please far from Seventh Avenue<br>

You can lose your sense and reason<br>

Guessing what style for next season<br>

Yes, the dress business will make a wreck of you<br>

It's a battle of fierce and grim <br>

That depends on the ladies' whim <br>

What'll Miss and Misses America's answer be<br>

Will she say with a tossing head<br>

And that rare guy wouldn't drop dead<br>

Or she'll say : yes, this dress is really me<br>

On guessing what, a day will say<br>

A sheer impossibility<br>

This poor kid's brave, he worked away<br>

And try to build that industry<br>

How crazy, bold and reckless<br>

Can human beings be...<br>

Hip, hip, hooray! For the garment trade<br>

Hear the cheer to push the music hits us everyone<br>

Day after day...They go on this way<br>

To the cockeyed way the job that must be done<br>

Off to the fray on the brave crusade<br>

Gallant ladies' garment trade<br>

Though in health got speed<br>

In a gesture breed, made all answers on parade<br>

What a business what a sack game<br>

Yet it's about as much your business is a crap game<br>

snapper, zipper, bowler, button<br>

All we know is what the experts know from nothin'<br>

So the last line you got pie with<br>

Coming right up is another you could die with<br>

If you're right the dough could flow in<br>

If you're not you haven't got a pot to sew with<br>

Off to the fray on the brave crusade<br>

Gallant ladies' garment trade<br>

Though in health got speed<br>

In a gesture breed, made all answers on parade<br>

Off to the fray on the brave crusade<br>

Gallant ladies' garment trade<br>

Though in health got speed<br>

In a gesture breed, made all answers on parade...<br>
