Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

In her sweet little Alice blue gown
When she first wandered down into town
She was both proud and shy as she felt every eye
And in every shop window she primp, passing by

Then in manner of fashion, she'd frown
And the world seemed to smile all around
Till it wilted she wore it, she'll always adore it

Her sweet little Alice blue gown

Line by Line Meaning

In her sweet little Alice blue gown
Dressed in a charming blue dress, she caught everyone's attention

When she first wandered down into town
As she strolled through the town streets for the first time

She was both proud and shy as she felt every eye
She felt proud and shy as all eyes were on her

And in every shop window she primp, passing by
She couldn't resist admiring herself in every shop window she passed by

Then in manner of fashion, she'd frown
As if on cue, she'd frown like a fashion model

And the world seemed to smile all around
The whole world appeared to be happy and content, matching her gorgeous appearance

Till it wilted she wore it, she'll always adore it
As long as she wore the dress, she loved it, even when it was no longer fresh and new

Her sweet little Alice blue gown
Ultimately, her charming blue attire was the center of attention
