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.
