Buttons and Bows 衣冠楚楚《纽扣和蝴蝶结》

East is east and west is west
And the wrong one I have chose
Let's go where I'll keep on wearing
Those frills and flowers and buttons and bows
Rings and things and buttons and bows

Don't bury me in this prairie
Take me where the cement grows
Let's move down to some big town
Where they love a girl by the cut on her clothes
And I'll stand out
In buttons and bows

I'll love you in buckskin
Or skirts that I've homespun
But I'll love you longer, stronger where
Your friends don't tote a gun

My bones denounce the buckboard bounce
And the cactus hurts my toes
Let's vamoose where girls keep using
Those silks and satins and linen that shows
And I'm all yours in buttons and bows

Gimme eastern trimming where women are women
In high silk hose and peek-a-boo clothes
And French perfume that rocks the room
And I'm all yours in buttons and bows

电影情节


野姑娘杰恩是美国西部一位富有传奇色彩的英雄。她的事迹经常被夸大或变形地演绎成小说或电影。《白面书生》(又作《脂粉双枪侠》)（The Pale Face）叙述野姑娘杰恩接受一项秘密使命穿越荒凉而危险的印第安人的领地去对付一伙亡命之徒。她和一位胆小的牙医同行，以结婚作为掩护，伴他巡回出诊。导演麦克黎德，主演是杰恩·勒瑟尔和鲍勃·霍普。

《纽约时报》的一篇评论认为：“影片中真正具有历史意义的是引起轰动的歌曲《领结和钮扣》，尽管它在影片中并不是最重要的……人类进步和艺术上所取得的伟大成就往往是靠类似的方式取得的。《白面书生》之所以被保留下来，是因为它是《领结和钮扣》的出生地。”歌曲获得1948年第21届奥斯卡最佳电影歌曲奖。
