PINK SHAMPOO
(Minette Alton)

as recorded by Connie Haines
with orchestra conducted by George Cates
October 15th 1953


Mother, get my ribbons,
Lay them out with care,
Match them to
My eyes of blue
And pink shampoo my hair.

Fill the tub with bubbles,
I'm in such a stew!
Paint my lips
And finger tips
And use the pink shampoo.

Tonight he'll pop the question;
Quick, the French cologne!
I kind of think
He's on the brink,
I feel it now in every bone!

So hurry with my satins,
Pull the laces tight.
Me and you
And pink shampoo
Makes history tonight!

Oh, mother pack my trousseau,
Check the railroad too,
It's xxxx? xxxx?,
You be sure
I pack my pink shampoo!

Somethin' blue and borrowed,
Anything that's new,
Somethin' old
As good as gold,
Make that the pink shampoo!

He's gonna be a pigeon
When he strokes my hair.
That magic spell
Works so well,
I hear the church bells in the air!

So mother, fix my orchid,
Bless you through and through!
If this plan
Will get my man,
Then bless that pink shampoo!
If this plan
Will get my man,
Then bless that pink shampoo!
