When You Get Dressed

You don't wear a suit and tie to go swimming
You don't wear a bathing suit for Thanksgiving
You'd look like a turkey and you might get baked
With a pumpkin pie and a chocolate cake
When you get dressed, think about
What you're going to do when you go out
You wear gold and purple for the Mardi Gras
Or red, white and blue for the Fourth of July
You wear orange and black on Halloween
Or a scary mask that'll make them scream
When you get dressed, think about
What you're going to do when you go out
Oh yeah, there's a time and there's a place
Oh yeah, unless you come from outer space
You don't wear boots if you're running in a race
You don't want breakfast on your face
Would you wear shorts to play in the snow
Or a coat to the beach in Kokomo
When you get dressed, think about
What you're going to do when you go out
Oh yeah, there's a time and there's a place
Oh yeah, unless you come from outer space
You don't wear a ski mask to the bank
Or an evening gown to drive a tank
You wear a pair of socks with a pair of shoes
Jump out of a plane with a parachute
When you get dressed, think about
What you're going to do when you go out
When you get dressed, think about
What you're going to do when you go out
When you get dressed, think about
