Something To Brag About Lyrics

Something To Brag About lyrics

(G.J.)

I've got a real important job

In a large office buildin'

Ridin' people in an elevator



I drive a '57 Chevrolet

With
busted tail lights

Burned out valves

And a leaky radiator



I wear a twenty dollar suit

I bought from J.C. Penney's

Back in
1962



But I've got somethin' to brag about

Somethin' to brag
about

Somethin' to brag about in you



(T.W.)

I'm a
short-order cook

At an all night cafe

Down on 18th avenue and 12th
street



I wear a swingin' mini dress

That I made for
myself

>From mama's kitchen curtains

And old bed sheets



I've got 17 pages

Of Top Value stamps

And one old pair of
shoes



But I've got somethin' to brag about

Somethin' to brag
about

Somethin' to brag about in you



When you're with the
fellas, I know

You start braggin' 'bout

My hour glass figure

And my big brown eyes



(G.J.)

Tell 'em

You tell your
girlfriends 'bout my

Sweet, sweet lovin'

And that's one better
that

Money can't buy



(both)

So let's lget married

In the not-to-distant future

We'll rent a little flat

On 29th
street



You know we'll hang our washin'

On the clothes line
from the window

We'll feast on corn bread, butter beans and lunch meat



We won't have a thermostat

A big long Cadillac

But we'll
have a love that's true



(G.J.)

Love has, somethin' to brag
about

(T.W.)

Yeah and I'll have, somethin' to brag about

(both)

Yeah, somthin' to brag about in you.
