Take Off That Fancy Dress

TAKE OFF THAT FANCY DRESS



Was sittin' on my porch swing.. All dolled up

When Billy stopped by in his pick up truck

He said "Darlin', you?re not ready to go

Doncha know we had a date for the rodeo"

Then he said (spoken)



(CHORUS)

Take off that fancy dress

And them high heeled shoes

Put on your snake-skinned boots

And your faded blues

We're goin' to the square danc

To doe se doe

After the barrel racin' at the rodeo



I said "I'd rather go to the movie show

Instead of that silly 'ole rodeo

It's gettin' so boring each Saturday night

Watching rope tyin', bull ridin' and cowboy fights"

He said (spoken)



CHORUS



Well I went and changed my clothes, but I thought (spoken)



NEW(CHORUS)

How come I never get to wear a fancy dress

He's got me livin' out here in the rugged west

One of these days I'm gonna put my foot down

And make him take me to a dinner and show in town



He read my mind 'cause he said? (spoken)



NEW (CHORUS)

Take off those snake-skinned boots and faded blues

Put on your fancy dress and your high-heeled shoes

I'm fixin to take you out to a movie show

We've seen one too many 'ole rodeos



(TAG)

So I put on my fancy red dress, had to look my best

I put on my high-heeled shoes; how could I refuse

I put on my fancy dress and red high-heeled shoes,

Pearls and earrings too; glad I changed into my fancy red dress

Oh, yes
