Verse 1 In days of old, when kids were bold
And used a fountain pen,
They'd carry a smart leather satchel
To school and home again.
From under the pleats of grey fabric
That made up their school uniform,
There came forth one infamous garment,
And it took the nation by storm....
Chorus Let's hear it for navy-blue knickers,
A fashion icon from the past!
A 'must-have' for those with impeccable taste,
Glamorous and made to last!
Step aside Vivian Westwood,
Eat your heart out Coco Chanel,
And let's hear it for navy-blue knickers,
Loved by every mademoiselle!
Verse 2 For those at school who longed for cool
And trendy accessories,
There's not been a great deal to choose from
Throughout the centuries;
A stripy tie if you were lucky,
A cap worn askew if you'd dare,
But for all those fortunate females
There was something stunning to wear....
Chorus Let's hear it for navy-blue knickers....
Instrumental (during which the fashion models waltz in pairs)
Chorus Let's hear it for navy-blue knickers....
