1
I was shopping for a suit the other day
2
And walked into the department store
3
Stepped on the elevator and told the girl
4
"Dry goods floor"
5
When I got off, a salesman come up to me
6
He said "now, what can I do for you?"
7
I said "well go in there and show me all the sport's clothes
8
Like you're supposed to"
9
He said, "well, sure, come on in buddy
10
Dig these fabrics we got laid out on the shelf"
11
He said
12
"Pick yourself out one try it on, stand in the mirror and dig yourself"
13
(Ooh-ooh-ooh) that suit's pure herringbone
14
(Ooh-ooh-ooh) yeah, that's a suit I'd like to own
15
(Ooh-ooh-ooh) buddy, that suit is you
16
(Ooh-ooh-ooh) yeah, I believe it too
17
I see for the business man you featurin' a natural shoulder
18
That retail, wholesale, indeed
19
It's got the custom cuffs and the walking short
20
He said "And I'm gonna let you have at a steal"
21
And for the playboy you have the latest in tweed
22
With the cut-away flap over twice
23
It's a box-back, two button western model
24
He said, "Now ain't that nice"
25
(Ooh-ooh-ooh) them buttons are solid gold
26
(Ooh-ooh-ooh) you made a deal, sold
27
(Ooh-ooh-ooh) that collar's pure camel hair
28
(Ooh-ooh-ooh) well, you can just set it down right in that chair
29
Now you go back there and you get that paper and let me sign on the dotted line
30
And I'll make sure I get all my payments in right on time
31
Hey wait a minute buddy, let me go back there and do a little checking on you
32
Then the man come back, he said "I'm sorry my man, but your credit didn't go through"
33
Why, what you mean?
34
(Ooh-ooh-ooh) ain't this a shame
35
(Ooh-ooh-ooh) my heart's in pain
36
(Ooh-ooh-ooh) pure, pure herringbone
37
(Ooh-ooh-ooh) that's a suit you'll never own
38
Ooh, Lord have mercy, I gotta good job, sweeping up every day...
