about

A song about style, and how it suits the man.

lyrics

Clothing Make the Man

Guys in slacks, moustache waxed
Hair gelled dippity do
Waistcoats buttoned, hiding nothing
Busting to break loose

It’s not too late, set him straight
Get in those fancy shoes
Starched whites, shining bright
Dressed to suit the mood

Must admit a suit that fits, now surely that’s the plan
It’s been said and I always read that clothing makes the man
My guess is, a well-dressed fellers called a ‘dapper Dan’
It’s been said, and I always read that clothing makes the man X 2

Ill-bred man shun clothes that can
Enhance his stance and bettered
Well-cut clothing, spirit’s boasting
Strolls through life unfettered

Slim-necked ties, worn by guys, who
Reek of cheap cologne
Double-breasted or barrel chested
Fellows dearly know

Must admit a suit that fits, now surely that’s the plan
It’s been said and I always read that clothing makes the man
My guess is, a well-dressed fellers called a ‘dapper Dan’
It’s been said, and I always read that clothing makes the man X 2

There’s time and a place, for style and grace
The fairer sex must know
Man’s a fool forgetting the rule, the
Cut of your jib’s for show

The suit makes the man, every man can
Adjust to his surroundings
Dressed to the hilt, his stature built
On territory most resounding

Must admit a suit that fits, now surely that’s the plan
It’s been said and I always read that clothing makes the man
My guess is, a well-dressed fellers called a ‘dapper Dan’
It’s been said, and I always read that clothing makes the man X 2
