Lyrics

She’s definitely shaken, a little stirred
She never does a knit one if she can do a pearl
Perfect in situations where she doesn’t fit
And permanently waiting a little gin and it
Furiously made up for a seaside stray
Who’s on a long vacation before her holiday

It’s an education in her social world
She’s brilliantly stable till she throws a pearl
Finds her reputation a little hard to fit
A riot of sensations she’s curiously lit
Furiously made up for a seaside stray
Who’s on a long vacation before her holiday
