[00:00.00] Buttons And Bows
[00:02.79] - Doris Day
[00:05.18]
[00:05.92] East is east and west is west
[00:07.74] And the wrong one I have chose
[00:11.28] Let's go where I'll keep on wearing
[00:13.87] Those frills and flowers and buttons and bows
[00:16.52] Rings and things and buttons and bows
[00:19.73]
[00:21.69] Don't bury me in this prairie
[00:23.89] Take me where the cement grows
[00:27.26] Let's move down to some big town
[00:29.57] Where they love a gal by
[00:31.27] the cut o' her clothes
[00:32.61] And I'll stand out In buttons and bows
[00:35.96]
[00:37.64] I'll love you in buckskin
[00:40.55] Or skirts that I've homespun
[00:42.96] But I'll love ya' longer, stronger where
[00:45.50] Yer friends don't tote a gun
[00:48.44] My bones denounce the buckboard bounce
[00:51.21] And the cactus hurts my toes
[00:53.93] Let's vamoose where gals keep using
[00:56.35] Those silks and satins and linen that shows
[00:59.08] And I'm all yours in buttons and bows
[01:02.31]
[01:14.89] My bones denounce the buckboard bounce
[01:17.75] And the cactus hurts my toes
[01:20.40] Let's vamoose where gals keep using
[01:22.79] Those silks and satins and linen that shows
[01:25.49] And I'm all yours in buttons and bows
[01:28.57] (Those silks and satins and linen that shows
[01:30.81] And I'm all yours in buttons and bows)
[01:34.02]
[01:35.25] Gimme eastern trimming
[01:36.68] where women are women
[01:38.04] In high silk hose and peek-a-boo clothes
[01:40.45] And French perfume that rocks the room
[01:42.92] And I'm all yours in buttons and bows
[01:47.16] Buttons and bows
[01:49.69] Buttons and bows
[01:51.00] (Those frills and flowers and buttons and bows
[01:53.23] Rings and things and buttons and bows)
