put on your sunday clothes
barbra streisand
there's a world outside of yonkers
way out there beyond this hick town
full of shine and full of sparkle
close your eyes and see it glisten
barnaby. put on your sunday clothes
there's lots of world out there
get out the brillantine and dime cigars
we're gonna find adventure in the evening air
girls in white in a perfumed night
where the lights are bright as the stars!
put on your sunday clothes
we're gonna ride through town
in one of those new horsedrawn open cars
we'll see the shows at delmonicos
and we'll close the town in a whirl
and we won't come until we've kissed a girl!
put on your sunday clothes when you feel down and out
strut down the street and have your picture took
dressed like a dream your spirits seem to turn about
that sunday shine is a certain sign
that you feel as fine as you look!
that makes you feel brand new down to your toes
your beads and buckles and bows
for there's no blue monday in your sunday. no monday in your sunday. no monday in your sunday clothes!
put on your sunday clothes when you feel down and out
strut down the street and have your picture took
dressed like a dream your spirits seem to turn about
that sunday shine is a certain sign
that you feel as fine as you look!
that makes you feel brand new down to your toes
your beads and buckles and bows
for there's no blue monday in your sunday clothes!
put on your sunday clothes when you feel down and out
strut down the street and have your picture took
dressed like a dream your spirits seem to turn about
that sunday shine is a certain sign
that you feel as fine as you look!
beneath your bowler brim the world's a simple song
a lovely lilt that makes you tilt your nose
your red suspenders and hose
for there's no blue monday in your sunday clothes!
ermengarde keep smiling no man wants a little ninny!
mr. tucker don't forget irene and minnie
just forget you ever heard a word from me!
aboaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaard!
all aboard! all aboard! all aboard! all aboard!
put on your sunday clothes there's lots of world out there
put on your silk cravat and patent shoes
we're gonna find adventure in the evening air
to town we'll trot to a smokey spot
where the girls are hot as a fuse!
put on your silk high hat and at the turned up cuff
we'll wear a hand made gray suede buttoned glove
we wanna take new york by storm!
no we won't come home until we fall in love!
