Kay Kyser — A Zoot Suit lyrics

Lyrics

HIM:
I want a zoot suit with a reet pleat
And a drape shape, and a stuff cuff
To look sharp enough to see my Sunday gal
I want a reef sleeve with a right stripe
And a dressed vest with a pad
In the latest fad to see my Sunday gal
I wanna look keen so my dream will say
«You don’t look like the same beau»
So keen that she’ll scream, «Here comes my walkin' rainbow»
So make a zoot suit with a reet pleat
And a drape shape, and a stuff cuff
To look sharp enough to see my Sunday gal
HER:
I want a brown gown with a zop top
And a hip slip, and a laced waist
In the sharpest taste to see my Sunday man
A scat hat with a trim brim
A zag bag with a rip zip
To look plenty hip to see my Sunday Sam
I wanna look keen so my dream will say
«Ain't I the lucky fellah»
So keen that he’ll scream, «Baby you sure look mellow! "
So make a brown gown with a zop top
And a hip slip, and a laced waist
In the sharpest taste to see my Sunday man
HIM:
I’ve got a zoot suit with a reet pleat
And a drape shape, and a stuff cuff
To look sharp enough to see my Sunday gal
HER:
I’ve got a brown gown with a zop top
And a hip slip, and a laced waist
In the sharpest taste to see my Sunday Sam
HIM:
I wanna look keen so my dream will say
«You don’t look like the same beau»
HER:
So clean that I’ll scream «Here comes my walkin' rainbow!»
HIM:
I’ve got a zoot suit with a reet pleat
and a stuff cuff with a pad
In the latest fad to see my Sunday gal
