Correction Lyrics Coco Chanel (The Original Influencer) by Horrible Histories

Lyrics

Sent to an orphanage at 12 years old
Was better than being hungry and cold
The nuns inspire me and teach me to sew
Then I work in the cabaret, they call me Coco

I develop something of a millinery talent
So I own a head shop, très magnificent
People love my designs, they think they’re cool
So I start making clothes which break all the rules

Coco Chanel
Can't help it if they stop and stare
Coco Chanel
The original influencer

Got burned on the beach, wasn’t what I was planning
People loved it so much I invented sun tanning
What’s with the corset? It’s not for me
I changed designs so things are comfy

I like to wear trousers, casual and sporty
I make them from jersey, they’re a little bit naughty
All the Frou Frou fashion, I think it’s a mess
But I also invent the little black dress

Coco Chanel
Can’t help it I’m quirky
Coco Chanel
And my bob is super perky

In 1921 I decided to invent
The ultimate in female scent
And still to this day, many people, where they go
They add a little dab of my No. 5 perfume

In World War 2 France was occupied
Had a Nazi boyfriend, for him I spied
Took a while to bounce back from this
Walked out in the end, I was living in The Ritz

Still making new collections aged 71
I worked till I died but I had a good run
Popularised costume jewellery
And the little pretty bag, that was also me

Coco Chanel
And this was all about me
Coco Chanel
And I was revolutionary
