East is east and west is west
and the wrong way I have chose
so let's go where
they keep on wearin' those
silks and satins and linens that shows
and you're all mine in buttons and bows...

And though her silky hair
And milky complexion are nice,
Still, they're not that distracting...
So what accounts for the way he's been acting?

Shanona: Dinah Shore made "Buttons & Bows" a big hit in the '50's. It was from an otherwise forgettable Bob Hope/Jane Russell movie called "The Paleface". Cute song!

Silk stockings,
I touch them and find,
The joys that remind me of you

Silk stockings,
That give me again,
Your shy laughter when,
They were new

(Cole Porter)

He dressed hisself all up in silk
He dressed hisself in white
And every town that he passed through
They took him to be some knight
