Текст песни: Shoppin' For Clothes + перевод

I was shopping 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

A salesman was coming up to me

He said, now, what can I do for you

I said, well, go in there and

Show me all the sports 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

(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)

That suit’s pure herringbone

(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)

Yeah, that’s a suit I’d like to own

(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)

Buddy, that suit is you

(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)

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 cutaway flap over twice

It’s a box-back

Two button western model

He said, now ain’t that nice

(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)

Them buttons are solid gold

(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)

You made a deal, sold

(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)

That collar’s pure camel hair

(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)

Well, you can just set that

Right there on 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, he come back

He said, I’m sorry, my man

But your credit didn’t go through

Why, what you mean

(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)

Ain’t this a shame

(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)

My heart’s in pain

(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)

Pure, pure herringbone

(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)

That’s a suit you’ll never own

Mmm, Lord have mercy

(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)

I got a good job

Sweeping up every day
