All the gals look alike, Lots of sets of twins, At least as to their skirt lengths But not so their shins- Oh, it's long shins, short shins, Broad ones and narrow, Very skinny little ones
 Just like those of sparrow, Oh, the days are getting shorter, That goes too, for the skirts, If Norma's measure sixteen inches Up seventeen goes Gert's.
