BUTTONS
AND BOWS
By Jay Livingston and Ray Evans
A Mickey McBride Arrangement
Verse 1
EAST IS EAST AND WEST IS WEST,
AND THE WRONG ONE I HAVE CHOSE,
LET’S GO WHERE THEY KEEP ON WEARIN’
THOSE FRILLS AND FLOWERS AND BUTTONS AND BOWS,
RINGS AND THINGS AND BUTTONS AND BOWS,
Verse 2
DON’T BURY ME IN THIS PRAIRIE,
TAKE ME WHERE THE CEMENT GROWS,
LET’S MOVE DOWN TO SOME BIG TOWN,
WHERE THEY LOVE A GAL BY THE CUT O’ HER CLOTHES,
AND I’LL STAND OUT IN BUTTONS AND BOWS,
Bridge
I’LL LOVE YOU IN BUCKSKIN
OR SHIRTS THAT I’VE HOMESPUN,
BUT I’LL LOVE YA LONGER, STRONGER,
WHERE YER FRIENDS DON’T TOTE A GUN,
Verse 3
MY BONES DENOUNCE THE BUCKBOARD BOUNCE,
AND THE CACTUS HURTS MY TOES,
LET’S VAMOOSE WHERE GALS KEEP USIN’
THOSE SILKS AND SATINS, AND LINEN THAT SHOWS,
AND I’M ALL YOURS IN BUTTONS AND BOWS.
(Repeat Entire Chorus)
Drop me an "E" any time.
