Shopping For Clothes
Well I was shopping for a suit the other day
And walked in the department store
Stepped on the elevator and told the girl
"Dry goods floor"
When I got off, a salesman come up to me
He said "Now, what can I do for you?"
I said "Well go in there and show me them smart clothes,
Like you're supposed to"
He said
"Sure, come on in buddy
Dig the fabrics I got laid out here on the shelf"
"Dig yourself out one, try it on
Stand in the mirror, and dig yourself"
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh wee)
Buddy that suit's pure herringbone
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh wee)
Yeah, that's a suit I'd like to own
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh wee)
Buddy, that suit is you
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh wee)
Yeah, and I believe it too
I see for the business man you got the natural shoulders
That retail, wholesale, and deal
Got the custom cuff and the walking short
He said "Hm,I'm gonna let you have that for a steal"
For the playboy you featuring the latest in tweeds
With the cut-away flap over twice
It's a box-back, two button western model
He said, "Hm, now ain't that nice"
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh wee)
And them buttons are solid gold
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh wee)
You made a deal, sold
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh wee)
And that collar pure camel hair
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh wee)
Well, you can just set it right on that chair there
Now you go back there, and you get that paper,
And let me sign on the dotted line
And I'll make sure I get all my payments in right on time
He said, wait a minute buddy
Let me go back and do a little checking on you
Then the man come back, he said
"I'm sorry my man, but your credit didn't go through"
Say, what you mean?
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh wee)
Ain't this a shame
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh wee)
My heart's in pain
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh wee)
Pure, pure hammerhead
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh wee)
And that's a suit I'm never gonna own
Now ain't that some shit
And walked in the department store
Stepped on the elevator and told the girl
"Dry goods floor"
When I got off, a salesman come up to me
He said "Now, what can I do for you?"
