Lyrics
I stumbled out into Leicester Square
Saw a pretty little girl just a-shining there
Like a star at the Wimpy Bar, looking so cute
In a bright orange window-pane Mary Quant suit.
Looking so cute in a Mary Quant suit.
She had a short, short skirt and long, long legs
And hair the color of scrambled eggs
When it’s four in the morning and you’re off on a toot
She wore a bright orange window-pane Mary Quant suit.
A double-breasted mini-skirt Mary Quant suit.
Her eyes were bright, her mascara was dark
She wore a little round cap just like Petula Clark
She was fresh as a daisy, she was ripe as a fruit
In a bright orange window-pane Mary Quant suit.
A double-breasted mini-skirt Mary Quant suit.
And white go-go boots nearly up to the knee
And white tights high as the eye could see
I sidled over and I said real slick
You be Marianne, and I’ll be Mick
You be Marianne, and I’ll be Mick.
She lived in Highgate in a flat with her mum
She got a threepenny bit from one of her chums
I heard her saying on the telephone
Don’t wait up, Luv, I won’t be home.
Don’t wait up, Luv, I won’t be home.
My heart was pounding, I could barely breathe
Next thing I knew she was tugging my sleeve
The jukebox was playing A Hard Day’s Night
And we danced and we danced ‘til the morning light
We danced and we danced ‘til the morning light
Instr: One A-section
I’ve got a rucksack, and I’ve been around
Been upland and downtown, and here’s what I found:
There ain’t nothing in this world any better than cute
And there’s nothing so cute as a Mary Quant suit
A little blonde mod in a Mary Quant suit.
So God bless England and the fog and the gorse
And God bless the Beatles, and Twiggy of course
And God bless Shrimpton and Susannah York
And the way all the women on the BBC talk
The way all the women on the BBC talk
God bless Julie Christie and Vanessa Redgrave
God bless Jane Asher and Vanessa Redgrave
God bless Charlotte Rampling and Vanessa Redgrave
And anybody else you’ve got a notion to save
And if you’re still listening, Lord, here’s what I want:
Great God Almighty bless Mary Quant
For making my baby so all-fired cute
In a bright orange window-pane Mary Quant suit
A double-breasted, mini-skirt Mary Quant suit
When we have a daughter I hope she’s as cute
As her sweet mama was in her Mary Quant suit
And when she grows up, may she live in a world
That can still be rocked by a rock ‘n’ roll girl
Rock that world, little rock ‘n’ roll girl.
And maybe some Ronnie Scott Saturday night
Some college boy Yank is gonna see the light
He’ll thank God for his eyes, he’ll thank God for his youth
Thank God for a girl in a Mary Quant suit
A retro mod blonde in a Mary Quant suit
A double-breasted, mini-skirt Mary Quant suit
A bright orange window-pane Mary Quant suit.
