Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I've got a real important job
In a large office building
Riding people in an elevator
I drive a '57 Chevrolet
With busted tail lights
Burnt out valves
And a leaky radiator
I wear a twenty dollar suit
I bought from J.C. Penney's
Back in 1962
[Verse 2]
But I've got something to brag about
Something to brag about
Something to brag about in you
[Verse 3]
I'm a short-order cook
At an all night cafe
Down on 18th Avenue and 12th Street
I wear a swinging mini-dress
That I made for myself
From mama's kitchen curtains
And old bed sheets
I've got seventeen pages
Of top value stamps
And one old pair of shoes
[Verse 4]
But I've got something to brag about
Something to brag about
Something to brag about in you
[Verse 5]
When you're with the fellas, I know
You start bragging about
My hourglass figure
And my big brown eyes
[Verse 6]
Tell 'em, you tell your girlfriends
'Bout my sweet, sweet loving
And that's one pleasure that
Money can't buy
[Verse 7]
So let's get married in the not too distant future
We'll rent a little flat on 29th Street
You know we'll hang our washing
On a clothesline from the window
We'll feast on cornbread, butter beans and lunch meat
We won't have a thermostat, a big long Cadillac
But we'll have a love that's true
[Verse 8]
And I'll have something to brag about
Yeah and I'll have something to brag about
Yeah, something to brag about in you
