Buttons And Bows Lyrics

Artist: Dinah Shore

(Spoken:) A western ranch is just a branch of Nowhere Junction to me.
Give me the city where living's pretty and the gals wear finery.

East is east and west is west
And the wrong one I have chose
Let's go where I'll keep on wearin'
Those frills and flowers and buttons and bows
Rings and things and buttons and bows
Don't bury me in this prairie
Take me where the cement grows
Let's move down to some big town
Where they love a gal by the cut o' her clothes
And I'll stand out
In buttons and bows
I'll love you in buckskin
Or skirts that I've homespun
But I'll love ya' longer, stronger where
Yer friends don't tote a gun
My bones denounce the buckboard bounce
And the cactus hurts my toes
Let's vamoose where gals keep usin'
Those silks and satins and linen that shows
And I'm all yours in buttons and bows
Gimme eastern trimmin' where women are women
In high silk hose and peek-a-boo clothes
And French perfume that rocks the room
And I'm all yours in buttons and bows

by RUTH L on 12/5/2008 4:31pm I never knew these clever lyrics were written by Dinah Shore. I thought it was from Annie Get Your Gun. A marvelous ditty!

by Huyen on 1/19/2009 5:20am Oooh, What a good song. Im only 13 and love this song. Whenever I show my friends this song they think I'm retarded. ==
by Cora on 2/1/2009 10:41pm Hi Huyen, I don't think you're retarded. I used to sing it all the time when I was younger.
by Steve Dallas on 2/4/2009 10:38am Check out an episode of Frasier called "Look Before You Leap" and watch the way Kelsey Grammer butchers this song because he's forgotten most of the words. It's drop-dead hilarious.
by Colfax Mingo on 3/25/2009 9:19am I've always had a hankerin' for Gene Autrey's rendition of this Western gospel.
by DuAnne E Bolt on 4/12/2009 9:30am Thank you so much Ice Cream truck plays song and I forgot lyrics
by Phil on 4/14/2009 8:23pm The song was written Jay Livingston and lyrics by Ray Evans. Dinah Shore just sang on her record. It has been sung and recorded on many records all the way up to a rap album in 1999 :D
by Verna on 8/3/2009 10:06pm I almost got all the words but,,, I am 80 yrs, & love to sing the old ones.
