Lyrics

The Fitted Shirt

[Verse 1]

When I was still growing up

And dad head off to work

He put coat and tie on

Over fitted shirt

Nothing else will fit right

Or seem so directly applied

Than fitted shirt hung on me

Fitted shirt, alright

[Pre-Chorus]

I long for the days

They used to say

"Ma'am" and "yes, sir"

For now, I'm going to find

Buttons for my

Dad's old used shirt

[Chorus]

Fitted shirt

Fitted shirt

[Verse 2]

Been looking so long now

And no one's seen and no one heard

But when I go out tonight

I'm gonna put on a fitted shirt

[Pre-Chorus]

One day it'll take

And they'll start to make

Shirts that fit right

Till then I suppose

I still got dad's clothes

And that's alright

[Chorus]
