Thread Name: Lyr Req: We Wear Our Hair in Curls
Subject: RE: We Wear Our Hair In Curls
Her's another example of "We wear our hair in curls" that mentions mini-skirts and includes the "toy/boy" line:
We are the Millfield girls We wear our hair in curls We wear our dungarees Right up above our knees We wear our fathers' shirts Instead of mini skirts And when it comes to boys We treat them just like toys We neither smoke nor drink That's what our parents think But when they're out of sight We do it day and night
Unfortunately, like most examples of children's schoolyard rhymes found online, this example has no demographical information as to when the poster learned it. The name "Millfield" is given, but not where "Millfield" is located or if it's a city, school, camp or some other group.
