Shoppin' for Clothes (2007 Remaster)

Shoppin' for Clothes (2007 Remaster) - The Coasters

I was shopping for a suit the other day

And walked into the department store

I 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 oneout

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 retail 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

Ohhhhhh That collar's pure camel hair

Ohhhhhh Well you can just set it down right in that chair

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

Hey wait a minute buddy

Let me go back there and do a little checking on you

Then the man come back

He said "I'm sorry man my 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 Lord have mercy
