The Lyrics
We cannot tell it’s you
for quite some time.
You’ve a completely different ’do:
Hair ain’t flyin’;
now down it’s lyin’.
At last, we can figure
the mystery out:
You have been transfigured;
the change slams us like a water spout.
Then we can tell it’s you—
the birthmark sign’s
divined.
At first fooled,
then we ruled:
The bejeweled
one who tooled
in and ’round…
we had once shared
haberdashery
in men’s shops found…
now ladies’!
It’s pretty swell, the view.
In fact, divine!
for quite some time.
You’ve a completely different ’do:
