Coasters - Shoppin' For Clothes lyrics
rate meI 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
