Ballad Of The Garment Trade Lyrics - Barbra Streisand

If you don't want to get nervous 

Do yourself a great big service 

Stay away please far from seventh avenue 

You can lose your sense and reason 

Guessing what style for next season 

Yes, the dress business will make a wreck of you 

It's a battle of fierce and grim 

That depends on the ladies' whim 

What'll miss and misses america's answer be 

Will she say with a tossing head 

And that rare guy wouldn't drop dead 

Or she'll say: yes, this dress is really me 

On guessing what, a day will say 

A sheer impossibility 

This poor kid's brave, he worked away 

And try to build that industry 

How crazy, bold and reckless 

Can human beings be... 

Hip, hip, hooray! for the garment trade 

Hear the cheer to push the music hits us everyone 

Day after day... they go on this way 

To the cockeyed way the job that must be done 

Off to the fray on the brave crusade 

Gallant ladies' garment trade 

Though in health got speed 

In a gesture breed, made all answers on parade 

What a business what a sack game 

Yet it's about as much your business is a crap game 

Snapper, zipper, bowler, button 

All we know is what the experts know from nothin' 

So the last line you got pie with 

Coming right up is another you could die with 

If you're right the dough could flow in 

If you're not you haven't got a pot to sew with 

Off to the fray on the brave crusade 

Gallant ladies' garment trade 

Though in health got speed 

In a gesture breed, made all answers on parade 

Off to the fray on the brave crusade 

Gallant ladies' garment trade 

Though in health got speed 

In a gesture breed, made all answers on parade...
