Lyrics 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
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
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
(Sax
interlude)
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
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,
Lord
have
mercy
