Artist/Band: Irving Berlin
Lyrics for Song: Crinoline Days
Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - Irving Berlin



[Verse:]

Back to the olden

Days that were golden

Memory often strays

Before anyone could gaze

At Molly's and May's

Little ankle displays

Time with its changes

Often arranges

Styles that become the craze

But I am yearning

To be returning

Back to those crinoline days



[Refrain:]

In those dear old crinoline days

Old fashioned people with their old fashioned ways



When the girl a fellow courted

Was the girl he married and supported



Back in eighteen seventy-four

Rosy complexions weren't bought in a store



Granny and grand-daddy longingly gaze

Back to those crinoline days


Criniline Days

Irving Berlin's "Crinoline Days" stands as a quintessential example of his early musical theater compositions, reflecting the vibrant social atmosphere of the 1920s. The song captures the spirit of the Jazz Age through its lively rhythm and themes of youthful exuberance and romantic escapades. As part of Berlin's extensive catalog, it showcases his ability to blend popular songwriting with theatrical storytelling, a hallmark of his career that spanned decades. The track remains a testament to the era's cultural shifts, offering a nostalgic glimpse into the fashion and sentiments of the time. Its enduring appeal lies in its melodic structure and the way it encapsulates the optimism and energy characteristic of Berlin's work during this period.
