Lyrics: Yes
 
I was shoppin' for a suit the other day
And walked into the department store
Stepped on the elevator and told the girl
"Dry goods floor"
 
When I got off I saw a salesman was coming to me
He said "Now, what can I do for you"
I said "Well go in there and show me all the sport's clothes
Like you're supposed to"
 
He said, "Well, sure, come on in buddy
Dig these fabrics we got laid out on the shelf"
He said "Pick yourself out one
Try it on, stand in the mirror and dig yourself"
 
Ohhhhhh...That suit's pure herringbone
Ohhhhhh...Yeah, that's a suit I'd like to own
Ohhhhhh...Buddy, that suit is you
Ohhhhhh...Yeah, I believe it too
 
I see for the business man you feature the natural shoulder
That retails, wholesale indeed
It's got the custom cuffs and the walking short
He said "And I'm gonna let you have at a steal"
 
And for the playboy you have the latest in tweed
With the cut-away flap over twice
It's a box-back, two button western model
He said, "Now ain't that nice"
 
Ohhhhhh...Them buttons are solid gold
Ohhhhhh...You made a deal, sold
 
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
 
INSTRUMENTAL
 
Buddy, I just did a little bit of checking on you
"I'm sorry my man but your credit didn't go through"
Why, what you mean
 
Ohhhhhh...Ain't this a shame
Ohhhhhh...My heart's in pain
Ohhhhhh...Pure, pure herringbone
Ohhhhhh...That's a suit you'll never own
Oh, me oh, my
Oh, me oh, my
