Appearance / Status

UNIFORMS

Intro:  I love my job, I love my boss

I love my paycheck too, ... of course

But most of all I love to wear

Those clothes that make me warm

I fit in with everyone

When I’m in my uniform!

 

Chorus:  Uniforms!  Uniforms!

Wonderful, wonderful clothes!

When I get up in the mornin’

From my head down to my toes,

I’ve got my uniforms!  Uniforms!

No decisions to make!

I just put on my uniform

And start my day!

 

Levis or a beach tan

Or a polyester knit

A jogging suit with stripes

Or toe-shoes that don’t quite fit

A cowboy hat, and apron

Phi Beta Kappa key,

I know all about you, ... yes,

And you know me!  We’re in our,

Chorus

 

In the Military

You gotta wear your proper suit

Pay attention to insignia

So you know who to salute

And in an altercation,

Well you know who to shoot!

If you should die, well, we’ll get by

'Cause there’s lots of substitutes!  In the same,

Chorus

Gray-haired airline pilots

And nurses dressed in white

And even fancy couples

At the opera at night

And sewer workers in their boots

Justa sloshin’ to and fro

Feel safer in a world where

Ev’rybody knows, ... that those,

Chorus
