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.
