I remember the night You told me we were through That you were no longer mine And I did not belong to you You said, "I'm leavin' town I'm puttin' you down 'Goin' back to Memphis with the new boy I found But honey, you sure look cute In your fine blue gabardine suit"
I remember the day You took me by the hand You said that you were mine And "I'm gonna let you be my man Get your money, honey I know what to do Today I saw the perfect blue color for you And honey, you'll look so cute In your brand new gabardine suit"
And we'll go... Blue suit boogie Jumpin' and-a-jivin' across the floor Blue suit boogie Reelin' and-a-rockin' til a quarter to four Blue Suit Boogie Jumpin' and-a-swingin' across the floor Just you and me Swingin' in my gabardine
Well, it's been six months And I haven't gone swingin' at all I spend my nights cryin' While my blue suit hangs in the hall
But I woke up this morning With a sweet smile on my face I think my broken heart Will finally find a restin' place 'Cause the girl I met today Is so reet petite So sweet and lovely, and light on her feet She says, "Honey, you sure look cute In your fine blue gabardine suit"
And we'll go... Blue suit boogie Jumpin' and-a-jivin' across the floor Blue suit boogie Reelin' and-a-rockin' til a quarter to four Blue Suit Boogie Jumpin' and-a-swingin' across the floor Just you and me Swingin' in my gabardine
