IT MUST GO
[Welland Telegraph April 3, 1903]
Sad news; bad news;
Anything but glad news!
What do you suppose they’re saying
at the fashion show?
Grum things; blum things;
Gloomier than some things;
They declare the shirt waist girl
must pack her trunk and go.
Tall girls; small girls;
Medium ad all girls
Are informed that it’s decreed by
those who cut and sew-
Slim waists; trim waists
None of them may wear the things
if the shirt waist girl must go.
Spare girls; fair girls;
Touch-me-if-you-dare girls;
Heavy girls or skinny girls will
hear the news with woe.
Cheap waists; steep waists;
Price-that-causes-sleep waists-
None of them are dear enough; the
shirt waist girl must go.
Pert waists; flirt waists;
Guimped and gored and girt waists;
Any kind of shirt waist with
collar high or low-
Rough news; tough news;
Hope that it is bluff news-
It’s more than enough news; the
shirt waist girl must go!
