I  bought them at Independence Square
Ebdim 
Dm 
from a girl named Evelyn
Who showed me a very special pair
G 
C 
that she was wearing
She told me it's over three weeks now
D 
Dm 
since she put them on
I bent and examined them myself,
G 
C 
they were hardly worn
I saw what a good bargain they
F 
were and I thought of you
Am 
Kindly accept this tiny token
Dm 
G 
C 
F 
as proof that my love is true, my love
C 
They are delicate,
Dm 
they are simply charming
G 
They are beautiful, they are colourful,
C 
they are most becoming
G 
C 
Think of me when you wear them
F 
Let this gem of an item
F#dim 
C 
be       always in your posses
G 
C 
sion forevermore

G 
C 
I  was not so sure about his size
D 
Dm 
Still I felt that I was
Competent enough to judge it right
G 
C 
Without digging horrors
I wish I could put them on for you,
F#dim 
Dm 
you must let me try
No doubt many other gentlemen,
G 
C 
as the years go by
Will come into close contact with them,
F 
and will find them soft
Em 
Think of me when you put them on,
Am 
Dm 
G 
C 
think of me when you take them off,
my love
F 
C 
When you put them on,
Dm 
use a little powder
G 
Dm 
It will make your stay in them
comfortable
G 
C 
and so much better
G 
C 
When they get down, it's alright,
F 
Hang them out in the sunlight.
F#dim 
C 
It       will shrink or tear,
G 
C 
G

F 
If you wash them but once a year.
