lyrics

Father hems for him, but hems her into mohair.
Reciting Threaded hymns made daddy such a Huckster.
Oh she’s feeling oh so lousy..
She looks so cute when she’s pouting.
Hang it! The boys are gawsy.
She’s forced to lie in tawdry.
Oh father...
Father’s forming figure eights.
(Look he’s forming figure eights.)
Securing seams of bitter hate.

She was the daughter of a haberdasher
At arm’s length, you know he never reached her
And every time the entry bells din
He pokes his finger with a sewing pin.

A doover, a doodad, a watchamacallit
Daughter dear, You know he’s got it.
But he doesn’t have you anymore
A lost scrap amidst the grandeur.
A motif, she wants to be more.
It’s time to close the store.
She flipped the sign and he locked the door.

So, Who receives the ballyhoo?
Breasts are double breasted suits.
“Lose the silly attitude.”
A noose, he is her button loop.

Father’s caress to a torso form
He never kept his daughter warm.

She was the daughter of a haberdasher
And ever since her leaving, he pokes his finger with a pin.
