Faces - Three Button Hand Me Down Live On John Peels Sunday Concert Bbc 2 26 72 Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I don't need no one's opinion
On the matter concerning my dress
I was raised in a clinic down in Oklahoma
There were many things I did not possess
I never complained, because my father said
"Son you'll get your chance before you're my age"
Then he took me upstairs and gave me this suit
Written all over his face

[Chorus]
"Others may come and others may go
But that suit will be around wherever you're goin'"
Three button hand me down
Three button hand me down

[Verse 2]
I've nеver been a tidy dresser
And thе fold in my trousers it ain't straight
Know a good cloth when I see one
That's why I'm clad in this gray flannel suit
Sometimes I wonder if I should visit a tailor
And get myself a smooth outfit
Remember what my father said, son
I'll make you from the open road
[Chorus]
"Others may come and others may go
But that suit will be around wherever you're goin'"
Three button hand me down
Three button hand me down, go

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
I had my fair share of neat women
But they came between me and my suit
A filly from Boston, a barmaid from Houston
Not forgetting the one in Detroit
"We like you boy and we think you're sweet
But can't you lose your suit?"
"No, no, no, no, you can't do that to me"
And this is what my father said

[Chorus]
"Others may come and others may go
But that suit will be around wherever you're goin'"
Three button hand me down
Three button hand me down
Three button hand me down
Three button hand me down
[Spoken Outro]
As you probably noticed, I never got the chance to introduce the program, uh
This is in concert, and these of course are the Northern Dance Orchestra, and God bless 'em
Sounding very strong tonight, lads
