lyrics

Would you believe she wore the same dress twice?!!
The Lady wore the same dress twice
Once upon a time, no matter what the price
She never would’ve worn the same dress twice

Times are hard, we all must sacrifice
And so she did, she wore the same dress twice
Even if the jewelry was new
Along with the hat, the gloves, the bag, and also the shoes

For her to wear something a second time
She must be counting her nickles and her dimes
Along with all those million dollar notes
The ones that buy the favors and the votes

Times are hard for everyone these days
And cutting back’s become the latest craze
Let go of a vacation home or two
Or this year maybe just not buy some place new

It touches every economic class
You hunker down and hope that it will pass
Put some limits on your spending sprees
Even castle dwellers feel the squeeze

They had to make reductions to their staff
Cut the number of live-in personal trainers by half
She’s deserving of the accolades
For trying to make do with fewer maids

Her husband sold one of his private jets
A Rolls Royce and a couple of Corvettes
Even if he did buy one more yacht
It was slightly smaller than the other two he’s got

Yes, times are hard for everyone these days
Crime’s about the only thing that pays
Even royalty is making do with less
There’s a recession, if you can believe the press

She wore a dress she’d been seen in before
A selfless act that shouldn’t go ignored
She’d say she was only doing her part
That’s just what you do when times are hard
