Ribbons Down My Back (from "Hello, Dolly!")

Ribbons Down My Back - Original London Cast Recordings

I'll be wearing ribbons

Down my back this summer

Blue and green and streaming

In the yellow sky

So if someone special

Comes my way this summer

He might notice me passing by

And so I'll try to make it easier to find me

In the silliness of July

Because a breeze might stir

A rainbow up behind me

That might happen to catch

The gentleman's eye

And he might smile and take me

By the hand this summer

Making me recall how lovely love can be

And so I will proudly wear

Ribbons down my back

Shining in my hair that he might notice me

And so I will proudly wear

Ribbons down my back

Shining in my hair that he might notice me
