Parody of Tilted by Christine and the Queens

Written by Susie Donkin

LYRICS:

Sent to an orphanage at 12 years old

Was better than being hungry and cold

The nuns inspire me and teach me to sew

Then I work in a cabaret, they call me Coco.

 

I develop something of a millinery talent

So I own the head shop; tres magnificent.

People love my designs they think they’re cool

So I start making clothes which break all the rules.

 

Coco Channel

Can’t help it if they stop and stare

Coco Channel

The original influencer.

 

Got burned on the beach, wasn’t what I was planning

People loved it so much I invented sun-tanning.

What’s with the corset? It’s not for me

I changed designs so things are comfy.

 

I like to wear trousers, casual and sporty

I make them from jersey, they’re a little bit naughty.

All the Frou Frou fashion, I think it’s a mess

But I also invent the little black dress.

 

Coco Channel

Can’t help it I’m quirky

Coco Channel

And my bob is super perky.

 

In 1921 I decided to invent

The ultimate in female scent

And still to this day, many people, where they go

They add a little dab of my No. 5 perfume.

 

In World War Two France was occupied

Had a Nazi boyfriend, for him I spied

Took a while to bounce back from this

Walked out in the end, I was living in The Ritz.

 

Still making new collections aged 71

I’ll work til’ I die but I had a good run.

Popularised costume jewellery

And the little pretty bag, that was also me.

 

Coco Channel

And this was all about me

Coco Channel

And I was revolutionary.
