Shoppin For Clothes

Shoppin' For Clothes - 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 of saying of 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 was suer coming on body

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 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

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
