*** I Need Some New Clothes ***
I walked holes through my sneakers and my pants are all frayed,
My shirt is from the eighties, you see my hat is all played.
I've got one pair of drawers and even they're gettin' worn,
My socks are all dirty, my black coat is all torn.
I can't go on, even my glasses are bent,
I want some new clothes, but I'm broke, so I can't...
chorus:
I need some brand new clothes,
Maybe a whole new look.
Some cool new threads to make me stylin',
The only problem bein' I'm broke.
I'll buy me a nice pin-striped suit, I think I like blue the best,
A fly-lookin' pair of wing-tipped shoes and a cool new sweater-vest.
I can't have too many funky ties and I need a silver watch and a chain,
Some round, horn-rimmed spectacles, I look so good, I think I'm vain.
Some chubby, comfy flannel drawers to make me feel complete,
I'll have all the ladies lookin' my way, man, I'm gonna look neat...
(chorus)
I've always got my pants all ripped up and my pockets are completely bare,
It takes a lot of money to look cool and I haven't a penny to spare.
I'll have to find me another job so I don't have to walk around naked.
How you look shows who you are and, my friend, you just can't fake it.
When I'll have the money, I don't really know,
But I'll just sit here and I'll dream about my brand new clothes.
(chorus)
