Lyrics
Hurry! Hurry! Step this way
There’s a great big sale today
And you can’t afford to overlook
The merchandise on display
Refrain
Are you wearing old dreams
Breaking out at the seams?
They should be new
And have I got the bargains
You lucky people, you
Here’s a holly hock scent
Makes a lady or gent feel well-to-do
And the price fits your pocket
You lucky people, you
Then here’s a green velvet landscape
And to prove I’m no rogue
I’ll add a smart looking rainbow
Like you see pictured in Vogue
I’ve a wonderful buy in a wrap-around sky
Of moonlight blue
And it’s yours for a love song
You lucky people, you
