Don't need no one's opinion
On the manner concerning my dress
I was raised in a clinic down in Oklahoma
Many things I did not possess
I never complained because my father said
Get your chance before you're my age
Took me upstairs and gave me this suit
Grinning all over his face
Others may come and others may go
But there's two to be around way after you're gone
Cheaper than hand me down
Cheaper than hand me down
Never been a tight fencer
To fold in my trousers hang straight
Nor a good clock when I see one
Time planted its grave by its seed
Sometimes I wonder why some business people
Get themselves a smooth outfit
Remember what my father said, son
I'll make you money off and on
Others may come and others may go
But there's two to be around way after you're gone
Cheaper than hand me down
Cheaper than hand me down
I've had my fair share of the women
But they came to treat me in my suit
Philly from Boston and far from Houston
I've had no one in Detroit
Like you boy and we think you're sweet
But can't you lose your suit
No, no, no, no you can't do that to me
And this is what my father said
Others may come and others may go
But there's two to be around way after you're gone
Cheaper than hand me down
Cheaper than hand me down
Cheaper than hand me down
Cheaper than hand me down
On the manner concerning my dress
I was raised in a clinic down in Oklahoma
Many things I did not possess
I never complained because my father said
Get your chance before you're my age
Took me upstairs and gave me this suit
Grinning all over his face
Others may come and others may go
But there's two to be around way after you're gone
Cheaper than hand me down
Cheaper than hand me down
Never been a tight fencer
To fold in my trousers hang straight
Nor a good clock when I see one
Time planted its grave by its seed
Sometimes I wonder why some business people
Get themselves a smooth outfit
Remember what my father said, son
I'll make you money off and on
Others may come and others may go
But there's two to be around way after you're gone
Cheaper than hand me down
Cheaper than hand me down
I've had my fair share of the women
But they came to treat me in my suit
Philly from Boston and far from Houston
I've had no one in Detroit
Like you boy and we think you're sweet
But can't you lose your suit
No, no, no, no you can't do that to me
And this is what my father said
Others may come and others may go
But there's two to be around way after you're gone
Cheaper than hand me down
Cheaper than hand me down
Cheaper than hand me down
Cheaper than hand me down
