Lyrics

I could never wear that sweater I could never wear that sweater My grandpa gave me a hand-me-down When I put it on I look like a clown All the kids would beat me up at school Made me itch cause it was made of wool Leather-bound buttons in a monkey shit brown Everywhere I go people putting me down When I go and do the little bottom buttons up Makes me look like I got a big beer gut I could never wear that sweater I could never wear that sweater Coming home late on an afternoon My lip was all bloody and my forehead all bruised Singing all the blues like Huddie Ledbetter All because of that shitty brown sweater Shitty little sweater causing too much pain Hung it in the closet wouldn't wear it again No disrespect to my grandpa But this sweater incident has gone too far I could never wear that sweater I could never wear that sweater Late last June I was buying some slacks From favourite op shop named Aunty Jack's Took them back to my abode Had a good look through my big wardrobe Then I spied that certain sweater But somehow it looked so much better When I put it on no turning back Even look good with my new brown slacks I could never wear that sweater I could never wear that sweater I could never wear that sweater I could never wear that sweater
