Description
So I saw this cat waiting for the "L" in Chicago. He was pimped out in an old leisure suit and he was eyeing all the ladies. He was way cooler…in his head than in the real world. He inspired this song, wrote most of it on the train heading to Midway for a flight.
Lyrics
Friends of Polyester You’re fine, you shine, you star Hey, hey, hey, hey Friends of Polyester We know who you are Mr. Brown Pants and a sly belly dance Just hittin’ and slippin’ and slides Every where you go and everyone you know Would die to be by your side Dark blue and green The colors you have seen Collars so wide they hurt Jimmy don’t know the stitchin’ he could sew Glasses so long-gone now Friends of Polyester You’re fine, you shine, you star Hey, hey, hey, hey Friends of Polyester We know who you are Belt to buckle shoes White as a ghost Man, can you fancy that? A Buccaneer walk Still to jive talk A King with the tweed lined cap Jollyboy pokes through his button spokes Poly all stretched out now Members-Only crowd Swings through the sound This clown is so downtown Friends of Polyester You’re fine, you shine, you star Hey, hey, hey, hey Friends of Polyester We know who you are Don’t stand so close to the heat You’re gonna melt your hems and seams The fibers that you’re made of Jack are cool, cool, cool And way back Friends of Polyester You’re fine, you shine, you star Hey, hey, hey, hey Friends of Polyester We know who you are Words and music © Donald Argento
