about

When no-one's looking, why worry about what you wear? It became apparent early in the first lockdown, that we wouldn't have to conduct any business where anyone could see what we were wearing below the waist. And from that, came this song.

lyrics

Dressing from the waist up

I used to go to town every weekend
And wear the finest clothes I could find
But now that I’m stuck here at my computer
I’ve found I've really had to change my mind

‘Cos I’ve started dressing from the waist up
Gonna make my face up, to hide my blues
I’ve started dressing from the waist up
But at least I don’t have to shine my shoes

I think that I might wear a skirt or tutu
Or go naked as the day that I was born
Or wear a pair of soft and fluffy slippers
Decorated on the front with unicorns!

‘Cos I’ve started dressing from the waist up
Gonna make my face up, to hide my blues
I’ve started dressing from the waist up
But at least I don’t have to shine my shoes

And though I wear a frown, ‘cos I can’t go to town
And buy the lovely clothes I used to wear
I’ll find an online shop and buy a brand new top
But I don’t know what to do about my hair!

‘Cos I’ve started dressing from the waist up
Gonna make my face up, to hide my blues
I’ve started dressing from the waist up
But at least I don’t have to shine my shoes

Yes I’ve started dressing from the waist up
Gonna make my face up, to hide my blues
I’ve started dressing from the waist up
But at least I don’t have to shine my, you know I'm feeling fine,
I don't know if I'll bother wearing shoes!
