[When I go to my wardrobe and pull out my clo'es]
When I go to my wardrobe and pull out my clo'es,
I hang them on chairs and survey them in rows,
And which will become me best who the deuce knows?
I hang them on chairs and survey them in rows,
And which will become me best who the deuce knows?
My complexion is brown, and my eyes are pea-green,
So the thing that will suit me (I learn from The Queen),
Is a red shooting-coat trimmed with ultramarine.
So the thing that will suit me (I learn from The Queen),
Is a red shooting-coat trimmed with ultramarine.
What's the use of discussing the hundred best books,
Or the hundred best garments? What counts is your looks;
The food is all right if you see to the cooks.
Or the hundred best garments? What counts is your looks;
The food is all right if you see to the cooks.
So Gammon and Sneck up and Fiddle-de-dee,
With your lubberly Lubbocks and cultured high tea!
The hundred best books are the books that suit me.
With your lubberly Lubbocks and cultured high tea!
The hundred best books are the books that suit me.
Question: What are the hundred best books?
Word: Wardrobe.
