Someone Else's Clothes Songtext

Ba-dot!
Ba-dot!
Ba-dot!
Ba-dot!

I started smiling
It′s not my style
But it's been highly recommended that I smile
So I′ve been grinning
And sad to say
I think I like it

I got a haircut
I guess it's cool
I just signed up for volunteer work at my schul
I've started jogging
I′ve bought some plants
And it′s fantastic


I'm wearing someone else′s clothes
And looking better
(Ok damn, looking better!)
I'm wearing someone else′s clothes
And feeling fine

(I had an angry hat, but I took it off)
(I had a mopey coat, but I took it off)
(I had nasty pants but I took 'em off)

I paint my bathroom
In eggshell blue
I′m doing lots of home improvements
Since I've fell in love with you
I write down birthdays
I offer drinks
I proffer complements

I'm wearing someone else′s clothes
And looking better
(Ok damn, looking better!)
I′m wearing someone else's clothes
And feeling fine oh
(Looking better all the time)


I′m eating someone else's lunch
And it′s delicious
(What a treat, bon appetit, you got to take it all off)
I'm wishing someone else′s dreams
And it's a sign

(I had an angry hat, but I took it off)

You said I don't have to be the king of idiosyncrasy
The grand pariah of the upper west
You said I don′t have to always bash my head against every wall
So I′ll just do whatever you suggest

Any fool could be a bland infatuated sellout
Baby, I think you are going to be impressed
Say I have to kiss you
Say I have to love you
Say I have to marry you
And I can guarantee you
I will figure out the rest

I'm wearing someone else′s clothes
And looking better
Oh I'm looking better
Wearing someone else′s clothes
And feeling fine
I'm feeling fine!
I′m marrying someone else's wife
And I'm ecstatic
Yeah, yes!
I′m living someone else′s life
So here take mine

Ya got an angry hat?
Take it off!
Ya got a moody suit?
Take it off!
Ya got a sulky sweater
Take it off!
And put on them smiley slippers

Ya got a mopey coat?
Take it off!
Ya got grouchy trousers?
Take 'em off!
Ya got negative knickers?
Take ′em off!
And get yourself some happy spats
(You gotta get naked!)

Ya got nasty pants?
Take 'em off!
Ya got sorry socks?
Take ′em off!
Ya got lonely loafers?
Take 'em off!
And dig the satisfied feeling

Ya got faded jeans?
Take ′em off!
Ya got foul flannel?
Take 'em off!
Ya got burned out boxers?
Take 'em off!
And put on the boots of joy!

Ya got bitter buttons?
Take ′em off!
Sarcastic glasses?
Take ′em off!
And that cranky hanky?
Take it off!
And get hip to the laughing dickey!
Oh take it off
