Lyrics

[Verse 1] I don't need no one's opinion On the matter concerning my dress I was raised in a clinic down in Oklahoma There were many things I did not possess I never complained, because my father said "You'll get your chance before you're my age" He took me upstairs and gave me this suit Written all over his face [Chorus] "Others may come and others may go But that suit will be around wherever you're goin'" Three button hand me down Three button hand me down, get on, woo [Instrumental Break] [Verse 2] I had my fair share of neat women But they came between me and my suit There was filly from Boston, a barmaid from Houston I can't forget the one in Detroit "We like you boy and we think you're sweet But can't you lose your suit?" "No, no, no, no, you can't do that to me" And this is what my father said [Chorus] "Others may come and others may go But that suit will be around wherever you're goin'" Three button hand me down Three button hand me down, get on, woo [Instrumental Break] [Verse 3] I've never been a tidy dresser And the fold in my trousers, it ain't straight I know a good cloth when I see one That's why I'm clad in this gray flannel suit Sometimes I wonder if I should visit a tailor And get myself a smooth outfit I remember what my father said, son I'll make you from the open road [Chorus] "Others may come and others may go But that suit will be around wherever you're goin'" Three button hand me down Three button hand me down Three button hand me down Three button hand me down, woo
