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]
