And what costume shall the poor girl wear? All tomorrow’s parties A hand-me-down dress from who knows where All tomorrow’s parties And where will she go and what she gonna do? When midnight comes around She turned once more to Sunday’s clown And cry behind the door
And what costume shall the poor girl wear? All tomorrow’s parties Linens and silks of last night’s gown All tomorrow’s parties And what will she do with Thursday’s rags? When Monday comes around She’ll turn once more to Sunday’s clown And cry behind the door
And what costume shall the poor girl wear? All tomorrow’s parties For Thursday’s child is Sunday’s clown For whom none will go mourning A blackened shroud a hand-me-down gown Of rags and silk a costume Fit for one who sits and cries All tomorrow’s parties
