Coasters - Shoppin' For Clothes lyrics

rate me

I was shopping for a suit the other day<br />

And walked into the department store<br />

Stepped on the elevator and<br />

Told the girl, dry goods floor<br />

<br />

When I got off<br />

A salesman was coming up to me<br />

He said, now, what can I do for you<br />

<br />

I said, well, go in there and<br />

Show me all the sports clothes<br />

Like you're supposed to<br />

<br />

He said, well, sure<br />

Come on in, buddy<br />

Dig these fabrics<br />

We got laid out on the shelf<br />

<br />

He said, pick yourself out one<br />

Try it on, stand in the mirror<br />

And dig yourself<br />

<br />

(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)<br />

That suit's pure herringbone<br />

(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)<br />

Yeah, that's a suit I'd like to own<br />

<br />

(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)<br />

Buddy, that suit is you<br />

(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)<br />

Yeah, I believe it too<br />

<br />

I see for the business man<br />

You feature the natural shoulder<br />

That retail, wholesale indeed<br />

<br />

It's got the custom cuffs<br />

And the walking short<br />

He said, and I'm gonna<br />

Let you have at a steal<br />

<br />

And for the playboy<br />

You have the latest in tweed<br />

With the cutaway flap over twice<br />

It's a box-back<br />

Two button western model<br />

He said, now ain't that nice<br />

<br />

(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)<br />

Them buttons are solid gold<br />

(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)<br />

You made a deal, sold<br />

<br />

(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)<br />

That collar's pure camel hair<br />

(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)<br />

Well, you can just set that<br />

Right there on that chair<br />

<br />

Now you go back there<br />

And you get that paper and<br />

Let me sign on the dotted line<br />

And I'll make sure I get all<br />

My payments in right on time<br />

<br />

Hey, wait a minute, buddy<br />

Let me go back there and<br />

Do a little checking on you<br />

<br />

Then the man, he come back<br />

He said, I'm sorry, my man<br />

But your credit didn't go through<br />

Why, what you mean<br />

<br />

(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)<br />

Ain't this a shame<br />

(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)<br />

My heart's in pain<br />

<br />

(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)<br />

Pure, pure herringbone<br />

(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)<br />

That's a suit you'll never own<br />

<br />

Mmm, Lord have mercy<br />

(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)<br />

I got a good job<br />

Sweeping up every day
