You Can Dress 'Em Up (But You Can't Take 'Em Out)

歌詞

Well, they won't comb their hair, and it won't make a dent Buy 'em new clothes, it might make 'em dead You take 'em to church all they do is squirm Well, you take 'em fishin' and they eat the worm My mama knew when she was talkin' about You can dress 'em up but you can't take them out Got one pair of pants, and that's no lie Been wearin' that shirt since 1965 Take the Queen of England for ribs in a truck Don't know Sears or Roebuck My mama knew when she was talkin' about You can dress 'em up but you can't take 'em out Fartin' in restaurants, burpin' in the movies Ain't took a bath since people said "Groovy" Lord have mercy, what will the neighbors say Even the dog says they stink If you do, if you do, if you do take 'em out All they do is scream, all they do is shout Best to leave 'em at home in the front yard Wearin' down their hair, suckin' up lard Buy 'em flea collars and books on etiquette You'd have better luck tryin' to cash a million-dollar check Well, it ain't no use, the cast is die And the thing on his head once said "Hi" My mama knew when she was talkin' about You can dress 'em up but you can't take 'em out You know, you just can't take 'em out anywhere They won't behave Don't act right Act like a bunch of hoodlums They're wearin' that shirt that's got mold growin' around the armpits and stuff They just don't know nice people when they meet 'em, lemme tell ya Well, my mama knew when she was talkin' about You can dress 'em up but you can't take 'em out You can dress 'em up but you can't take 'em out
