Glad rags
Now honey, you do the dishes and I'll feed the old sowAlso the chickens and our one jersey cowTake down your curlers and powder your noseBig time at jones' place, so wear your best clothes
There'll be no evening gowns, not even a tuxThey'll come in wagons, buggies and pick-up trucksWe'll do square dancin' under kerosine lightWe'll wear glad rags tonight, my honeyâ¦We'll wear glad rags tonight!!Big time at jones' place, so wear your best clothes!!Silvester comin', hum and fiddle a tuneRed headed kids will swipe away his spittoonThen run and hide behind a bale of hayBut that old sittin' hen will scare 'em away
Look for me beside the old cider kegI'll set my cup down and we'll both shake a legNever a ballroom had a prettier sightWe'll wear glad rags tonight, my honeyâ¦We'll wear glad rags tonight!!
