Sweater

Eskimo Joe

CHORUS

I could never wear that sweater

I could never wear that sweater



My grandpa gave me hand-me-down

When I put it on I look like a clown

All the kids would beat me up at school

Made me itch cause it was made of wool

Leather bound buttons in a monkey shit brown

Everywhere i go people put a man down

When i go and do the little bottom buttons up

Makes me looke like I got a big beer gut



CHORUS



Coming home late on an afternoon

My lip was all bloody and my forehead all bruised

Singing all the blues like hoody led better

All because of that shitty brown sweater

Shitty little sweater causing too much pain

Hung it in the closet never wear it again

No disrespect to my grandpa

But this sweater incident has gone too far



CHORUS



Late last June I was buying some slacks

From favourite Op shop named Aunty Jacks

Took them back to my abode

Had a good look through my big wardrobe

Then I spyed that certain sweater

But somehow it looks so much better

When I put it on no turning back

Even look good with my new brown slacks



REPEAT CHORUS TILL END
