Fishnet Stockings

Remind me of Shirley McClain And damned Yankees And she didn’t even wear them in that musical But she had the attitude of the fishnet stockings Torn and tattered they give a new feeling Sad, cheap, ugly which saddens me a bit. For in the sixties they were the thing We girls could not wait to wear them We had patterned hose of all kinds Knitted like fishnet, some in flowers Fishnet brings back the sixties Reminding me of being fifteen Hoping someone would notice my legs at a dance
