The Pinstripes Are All That They See

When your mother walked into that
Dance hall in Montrichard, what did she see?
Through the haze of Champagne, did she
Notice my brain or my College degree?
Kid, what she saw was a uniform

Through the dirt and debris
Yes, those ladies gave thanks
To us visiting Yanks
'Cause pinstripes are all they see

When a pilot walks onto the plane, all the passengers smile and relax
(Smile and relax, smile and relax)
Do they know he's still tight from that
Party last night, or the back-to-back jacks?
(Due to that)

Now what they see is a uniform
How it fits, it fits to a tee
Like that visiting team
That the Yankees will cream
Pinstripes are all that they see

If you wanna be a someone
You can't look like a bum
A book's judged by its cover
That's the first Rule of Thumb
I wanna see you take off

Straight to the top floor
Start dressing to impress 'em
Son, you'll stroll in the front door
A kid in a man's candy store, yeah

Every lawyer's bespoke to the nines
To a jury, he's smart and refined
(Smart and refined)
And they see one look the defendant's a crook or that justice is blind
(Watch that's blind)
What they see is the uniform

That he bargains a plea
They are cease and desist
So hard to resist
Pinstripes are all that they see
Sing it with me!

Yeah, we're gonna hit the highlife
We've only just begun
We're gonna be together
Frank Sr. and son
Dine at the Latin Quarter

A night cap too short
Yeah, we're gonna be at ringside
Life will be better than before
For two kids in a man's candy store
