LYRICS:
They call me Perdita
The mistress of George IV, yeah
I wear a funky dress for you.
​
I walk down The Mall, dear
The people they stop and cheer, dear
I wrap my hands in fur for you.
​
And tighter and tighter
I barley can breathe
But how they love me
​
No matter the scandal
All eyes are on me
Oh, how they love me
​
Whatever I put on
Is the hit of the year
It's me they copy
Cos nothing says fashion like me...
​
(Well, apart from me)
I'm Duchess of Devonshire
And everyone loves what I wear
I wear a little hair for you.
​
It only takes horsehair
Two hairdressers and half the day, yeah
I wear a little hair for you.
​
And higher and higher
I stick in the bird
Oh, how they love me
​
And tighter and tighter
I barely can breathe
And how they love me
​
And higher and higher
I stick in a ship
Oh, how they love me
​
And higher and higher
No wig is too big
Oh, how they love me.
​
We really made big hair a thing.
