Faces - Three Button Hand Me DownLyrics

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 "son, you'll get your chance before you're my age." Then he took me upstairs and gave me this suit Written all over his face He said, "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 I had my fair share of neat women But they came between me and my suit That was a filly from Boston, a barmaid from Houston Not forgetting the one in Detroit They said, "we like you, boy, and we think you're sweet But can't you lose your suit?" I said, "no, you can't do that to me." I remember what my father said He said, "others may come and others may go But that suit will be around wherever you're goin'." Three button hand me down, ha, ha Three button hand me down I've never been a tidy dresser And the fold in my trousers - it ain't straight Still, 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 Then I remember what my father said to me I'll make you from the open road He said, "others may come and others may go But that suit will be around wherever you go." Three button hand me down Three button hand me down
