Lyrics

And what costume shall the poor girl wear

Contemplating what attire the economically disadvantaged girl will wear

To all tomorrow's parties

To attend future social gatherings or events

A hand-me-down dress from who knows where

A used dress of uncertain origin

To all tomorrow's parties

For the upcoming social gatherings


And where will she go and what she gonna do

Where she will go and what actions she will take

When midnight comes around

At the stroke of midnight

She turn once more to Sunday's clown

She reverts to a familiar, melancholic state akin to a clown on Sundays

And cry behind the door

Expressing her sorrow in private


And what costume shall the poor girl wear

Contemplating suitable clothing for the same girl

To all tomorrow's parties

For future social events, using worn garments from previous nights

Linens and silks of last night's gowns

Mentioning fabrics from the prior night's dresses

To all tomorrow's parties

For the upcoming social gatherings


And what will she do with Thursday's rags

Dealing with clothes from a past day

When Monday comes around?

Transitioning from Thursday's state to Monday's circumstances

She'll turn once more to Sunday's clown

Returning to a despondent state akin to a clown on Sundays

And cry behind the door

Seeking solace behind closed doors


And what costume shall the poor girl wear

Reiterating the question regarding the girl's attire

To all tomorrow's parties

For impending social gatherings or events


For Thursday's child is Sunday's clown

Referencing the girl's unfortunate situation

For whom none will go mourning

No one will mourn or grieve for her

A blackened shroud a hand-me-down gown

Describing her attire as a mixture of worn-out clothing

Of rags and silks, a costume

Comprising both ragged and luxurious elements, creating a costume

Fit for one who sits and cries

Fitting for someone who sits and weeps

For all tomorrow's parties

Referencing her sorrow during future events
