Another song about Harem pants, a.k.a. harem skirt, etc.

From the sheet music at The University of Oregon:


"Successfully sung by Lenore Lorrayne"
FROM FIGLEAF TO HAREM

1. I wonder what Adam, the first man, would say
If he were transplanted to earth,
And viewed mother Eve in a late harem gown,
Would his vision cause sorrow or mirth?
Would he rummage around until he had found
An old dress of hers made of leaves?
Would he quietly say "Take those things away"?
"Temptation the serpent still weaves!"
Would it cause him to swear, and pull out his hair?
Would he forbid her to wear 'em?
Could he survive, if he were alive,
The change from the fig-leaf to harem?

CHORUS: The harem! The harem!
Don't be afraid that you'll tear 'em,
You can walk at your ease even bending your knees!
Or do a high kick in the harem!
The harem! Scare 'em!
Any woman can wear 'em!
You'll never be vexed as soon as you're next!
And used to wearing the harem!

2. If you're doing a stunt on the vaudeville stage,
And would like to invent a new turn,
Just represent Eve in her first summer gown,
And no matter what sal'ry you earn,
You'll soon get a raise, and the manager's praise.
A headliner quickly you'll be!
So advertise right, and say ev'ry night,
A wonderful change they will see!
You'll advocate style, wear a fig-leaf awhile,
To wear one just like it you'll dare 'em!
Say you'll surprise, you'll open their eyes,
When you change from the fig-leaf to harem!
