Glad Rags Lyrics - Jimmy Dean

GLAD RAGS 

NOW HONEY, YOU DO THE DISHES AND I'LL FEED THE OLD SOW 

ALSO THE CHICKENS AND OUR ONE JERSEY COW 

TAKE DOWN YOUR CURLERS AND POWDER YOUR NOSE 

BIG TIME AT JONES' PLACE, SO WEAR YOUR BEST CLOTHES 

THERE'LL BE NO EVENING GOWNS, NOT EVEN A TUX 

THEY'LL COME IN WAGONS, BUGGIES AND PICK-UP TRUCKS 

WE'LL DO SQUARE DANCIN' UNDER KEROSINE LIGHT 

WE'LL WEAR GLAD RAGS TONIGHT, MY HONEY... 

WE'LL WEAR GLAD RAGS TONIGHT !! 

BIG TIME AT JONES' PLACE, SO WEAR YOUR BEST CLOTHES !! 

SILVESTER COMIN', HUM AND FIDDLE A TUNE 

RED HEADED KIDS WILL SWIPE AWAY HIS SPITTOON 

THEN RUN AND HIDE BEHIND A BALE OF HAY 

BUT THAT OLD SITTIN' HEN WILL SCARE 'EM AWAY 

LOOK FOR ME BESIDE THE OLD CIDER KEG 

I'LL SET MY CUP DOWN AND WE'LL BOTH SHAKE A LEG 

NEVER A BALLROOM HAD A PRETTIER SIGHT 

WE'LL WEAR GLAD RAGS TONIGHT, MY HONEY... 

WE'LL WEAR GLAD RAGS TONIGHT !!
