Lyrics
I have seen each and ev’ry queen
In the fashion shows
I’ve seen them pose in lovely clothes
But the best is the maiden dressed
In a costume made of mesh
Dressed in her new creation
She’ll cause a big sensation
Chorus
Maid of mesh
In a gown all made of mesh
All the boys are wild over you
Maid of mesh
In a plat’num setting
You will soon be getting
All the love and petting, too
You’ll find that Tommy
Harry, Freddy and Paul
Have tripped and slipped
And now they’re getting ready
Right from the start
Ev’ry fellow lost his heart
To the pretty little maid of mesh
All made of mesh
