it's all in the wrist
these ol' rope tricks
what the arm
dangles
is merely
an accessory
a way
to pass the time
is merely
an accessory
a way
to pass the time
while i spin you
violet wild & plum dizzy
it's all in the eyes
this ol' cowgirl throws
it's all in the eyes
this ol' cowgirl throws
a quarter inch
of batted lash
goes for miles & miles of...
goes for miles & miles of...
goodness knows
