ANTIQUE ANNIE'S MAGIC LANTERN SHOW
(Jimmy Stewart & Doug Ashdown)

Porcelain plates and a penny-farthings
Places you can visit now from long ago
Ruby rings and old brass hearthings
Chippendale mahoganies that grow
Children's music box and cameo
At Antique Annie's Magic Lantern Show

Come and see her wares
Up three flights of stairs
Come and see her face at a place
They call antique

Faintly driven Edgecliffe ladies
Touch and tease and toil and spoil the show
Dainty, dusty, dressed in dancers
Answers Annie sweetly, bowing low
Annie answers all they wish to know
At Antique Annie's Magic Lantern Show

They bought her colored glass
They thought they bought her past
Through the silver and the lace at a place
They called antique
Antique

Chippendale mahoganies
Children's music box and cameo
At Antique Annie's Magic Lantern Show
Ooh, ooh, ooh
