The Lyrics
I put a shawl on you
that looks sublime.
Although it will cover your ’do,
still it’s stylin’
you will have—stylin’!
It’s such a fine garment,
on you wrapped around.
Don’t look like a varmint,
like a wrap that’s a pelt been shot down.
No, it’s a shawl for you—
it looks sublime
and fine!
Shawl on you
all haute cou-
ture to view
No muumuu for you now
They’re kinda square
and too billowy.
It’s like a cow
you’d appear!
So with a shawl, then you
don’t look like kine.
that looks sublime.
Although it will cover your ’do,
still it’s stylin’
you will have—stylin’!
It’s such a fine garment,
on you wrapped around.
Don’t look like a varmint,
like a wrap that’s a pelt been shot down.
No, it’s a shawl for you—
it looks sublime
and fine!
Shawl on you
all haute cou-
ture to view
No muumuu for you now
They’re kinda square
and too billowy.
It’s like a cow
you’d appear!
So with a shawl, then you
don’t look like kine.

I thought this was about forced marridge in Kergizstan.
