Well I believe it′s that time of year when I shop for clothes.
Well I believe it's that time of year when I shop for clothes.
Tells you how far your hard earned money goes.

Come on in, boys. Get yourself a better view.
Have a look around. See if anything appeals to you.
We got a sale right now.

You buy one, you get two.

Just look at the way that fabric drapes your legs.
Now imagine that in a size 6 and a 12 inch leg.
Women see you coming, they′ll get down on their knees and beg!

Well I believe it's that time of year when I shop for clothes.
Well I believe it's that time of year when I shop for clothes.


Tells you how far your hard earned money goes.

We′re featuring the Ivy League look. It′s conservative
But is cool.

Yes and with the proper V collar - woah! - Now you're breaking all the rules!
How about a shark skin suit? Shines just like a jewel.

If it′s a hat you require, let me show you one of our stingy brims.
Here, check yourself out in the mirror. This shipment just come in.

Man, that hat is you!

That hat is him.

Yeah, sorry my man, but the cape is not for sale.
I've got a new shipment expected in any day now, it′s coming via the air mail.
Yeah, this item is going to be very fashionable, come the fall.

Well I believe it's that time of year when I shop for clothes.
Well I believe it′s that time of year when I shop for clothes.
Tells you how far your hard earned money goes.

Well I believe it's that time of year when I shop for clothes.
Well I believe it's that time of year when I shop for clothes.
Tells you how far your hard earned money goes.
