LYRICS

Main Riff:
Verse 1:
Clean shirt, new shoes
And I don't know where I am goin' to
Silk suit, black tie,
I don't need a reason why

Chorus:
They come runnin' just as fast as they can
'Cause every girl crazy 'bout a sharp dressed man

Main Riff:
Verse 2:
Gold watch, diamond ring,
I ain't missin' not a single thing
Cufflinks, stick pin,
When I step out I'm gonna do you in

Chorus:
They come runnin' just as fast as they can
'Cause every girl crazy 'bout a sharp dressed man

Main Riff:
Verse 3:
Top coat, top hat,
And I don't worry 'cause my wallet's fat
Black shades, white gloves,
Lookin' sharp lookin' for love

Chorus:
They come runnin' just as fast as they can
'Cause every girl crazy 'bout a sharp dressed man

Main Riff:
