I once had a gown, it was almost new The daintiest thing, it was sweet Alice blue With little forget-me-nots placed here and there When I had it on, I walked on the air And it wore, and it wore, and it wore 'Til it went, and it wasn't no more In my sweet little Alice blue gown When I first wandered down into town I was both proud and shy, as I felt every eye But in every shop window I primped passing by Then in manner of fashion, I'd frown And the world seemed to smile all around 'Til it wilted, I wore it, I'll always adore it My sweet little Alice blue gown My sweet little Alice blue gown My sweet little Alice blue gown
