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...
CHORUS:
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"
