Something to Brag About
I've got a real important job in a large office buildingRidin' people in an elevatorI drive a '57 Chevrolet with busted tail lightsBurnt out valves and leaky radiatorI wear a twenty dollar suit I bought from JC Penny's back in '62But I've got something to brag about something to brag aboutYes something to brag about in youI'm a short order cook at an all night cafeDown on 18th Avenue and 12th StreetI wear a swinging mini dress that I made for myselfFrom mama's kitchen curtains and old bed sheetsI've got seventeen pages of top value stamps and one old pair of shoesBut I've got something to brag about something to brag aboutSomething to brag about in youWhen you're with the fellas I know you start to braggingBout my hour glass figure and my big brown eyesYou tell your girlfriends bout my good good lovin'And that's one pleasure that money can't buyLet's get married in the not too distant futureWe'll rent a little flat on 29th StreetYou know we'll hang our washing on a clothesline from the windowWe'll feast on cornbread butter beans and lunch meatWe won't have a thermostat or a big long CadillacBut we'll have a love that's trueAnd I'll have something to brag about I'll have something to brag aboutSomething to brag about in you From Letras Mania
