Sharkskin Suit - Wayne Kramer

Theres a style of suit that I really dig

But you cannot wear them if you get too big

Cool in the past

Cool in the present

When the light hits right

Its damn iridescent

If I stumble on a robbery

Ill scream dont shoot!

Couldnt stand to have any holes

In my sharkskin suit.

The Cadillac of suits.

Yeah, theyre worn by pimps and some wiseguys, see?

Aint no doubt about it they are right for me

Like Frankie, Sammy,

And that rat pack mob

Were showing America

Dont dress like a slob

With Joey and Dino

They were all in cahoots Its Oceans 11 In sharkskin suits.

The Cadillac of suits.

It was confirmed last night for the world to see

Lyle Lovett was on TV

He was cool as always

And smart to boot

What do you think he was wearing?

A brown sharkskin suit

Sharkskins eternal

Sharkskins grand

Its just the thing

If you play in a band

The tapered leg

The narrow lapel

The cut and shine

Well, youre cool as hell

If I make a million bucks

And thats a lot of loot

Some of it would go

For some sharkskin suits.

The Cadillac of suits.
