Lyrics

[00:07.928] When your mother walked into
[00:10.018] That dance hall in Montrichard
[00:12.708] What did she see?
[00:16.209] Through the haze of champagne
[00:18.612] Did she notice my brain
[00:20.206] Or my college degree?
[00:23.889] Kid, what she saw was the uniform
[00:27.912] Through the dirt and debris
[00:31.935] Yeah, those ladies gave thanks
[00:35.644] To us visiting Yanks
[00:36.767] Cause the pinstripes are all they see
[00:42.201] When a pilot walks onto a plane
[00:45.675] All the passengers smile and relax
[00:48.966] (Smile and relax)
[00:50.586] Do they know he's still tight from
[00:53.042] That party last night
[00:54.818] Or the back to back jacks?
[00:57.091] (Stewed to the max)
[00:58.292] No! What they see is the uniform
[01:02.498] How it fits to a tee
[01:06.547] Like that visiting team
[01:09.342] That the Yankees will cream
[01:11.275] Pinstripes are all that they see
[01:20.888] If you wanna be a someone
[01:23.500] You can't look like a bum
[01:25.616] A book's judged by its cover
[01:27.628] That's the first rule of thumb
[01:30.005] I wanna see ya take off
[01:31.572] Straight to the top floor
[01:33.479] Start dressing to impress 'em
[01:35.673] Son, you'll stroll in the front door
[01:40.663] A kid in a man's candy store
[01:45.522] Yeah~
[01:53.306] Every lawyer's be spoke to the nines
[01:56.911] To a jury he's smart and refined
[01:59.967] (smart and refined)
[02:01.613] And they see one look
[02:04.042] The defendent's a crook
[02:05.793] But they're just as he's blind
[02:08.117] (Watch the pinstripes)
[02:09.528] What they see is a uniform
[02:14.204] As he bargains a plead
[02:18.018] They are seized and obsessed
[02:20.735] So hard to resist
[02:22.459] Pinpstripes are all that they see
[02:30.531] Sing it with me!
[02:31.889] Yeah we're gonna hit the high life
[02:34.658] We' ve only just begun
[02:36.722] We're gonna be together
[02:38.785] Frank, Sr. and son
[02:40.797] Dine at the Latin Quarter
[02:42.782] A night cap too short
[02:44.872] Yeah we're gonna be at ringside
[02:46.857] Life will be better than before
[02:50.279] For two kids in a man's candy store
