Wearables

Wearables in songs

I started this thread when this came to mind
 
He wears tan shoes with pink shoelaces
A polka dot vest and man, oh, man
Tan shoes with pink shoelaces
And a big Panama with a purple hat band
 
Anything wearable, clothing, jewelry, makeup, hairstyles, facial hair, tattoos, etc.
 
For fun, DO NOT GIVE THE SONG NAME unless the item appears in the title as in Lipstick on Your Collar but do give enough of the lyrics to identify the song.

Re: Wearables

My boy, Flat Top.
Make it cool daddy-o, when I put 'em on, I'm ready to go. "Black Slacks"
He wore black denim trousers and motor cycle boots!
Who wears "Short Shorts"
It was an itsy bitsy teenie weenie yellow polka dot bikini!
A white sport coat and a pink carnation
He had emeralds and rubies just dripping off of him and a ring on every finger of his hand.

 Years ago I heard a parody song and can't remember anything about it except this line.....
"When I See My Baby's Blue Jeans Hanging On The Line!'

"She always wears charms, diamonds, pearls galore.
She buys them at the 5 & 10 cents store."

Re: Wearables

When a girl changes from bobbysocks to stockings

Venus in Blue Jeans

He had emeralds and rubies just a dripping off a him
And a ring on every finger of his hands
He wore a big ol" turban wrapped his head
There he saw Fatima laying on a zebra skin rug
With rings on her fingers and bells on her toes
And a bone in her nose ho ho  (Ahab the Arab)

Re: Wearables

When I wake up in the morning light
I pull on my jeans and I feel all right
I pull my blue jeans on
I pull my old blue jeans on (cha-cha)

She was a long cool woman in a black dress
Just a 5'9" beautiful tall

Re: Wearables

I wear a first name initial, a great big initial
On a chain everywhere I go
It's your first name initial, a great big initial
Engraving don't you know (don't you know)


Here she comes in her wedding gown, looking like a queen
She has been my only love since she was thirteen

A White Sport Coat (and a pink carnation)

White spats and lots of dollars

Re: Wearables

you're wearin' your dresses way too high

Judy's wearin' his ring

Put silver wings on my son's chest

But uh-uh baby, lay off of my shoes

Be sure to wear some flowers in your hair

in disguise with glasses

Will wash away your lipstick on my face

She pulls out lipstick, powder
Bubble gum and bobby pins

these boots are gonna walk all over you

I want some shoes to set my feet a-dancing

that gypsy with the gold-capped tooth

He had a big black leather jacket
With an eagle on the back and zippers up the sleeves
...
And all it did to her was smear her lipstick
All over the highway

Put on your hi-heel sneakers

the way that I fill out my skin-tight blue jeans

blew out my flip-flop

Those nice young men In their clean white coats

Take the ribbon from my hair

And Lord I love that lady wearing tight fitting jeans

Betty, is that Jimmy's ring you're wearing

Her pink pedal pushers was a-knocking 'em out
She wears a pink pedal pushers, pink pedal pushers

Their shirts all soaked with sweat
He's riding hard to catch that herd

He'd have blue eyes and blue jeans

Won't you wear my ring around your neck
To tell the world I'm yours, by heck

I want you to wear my orange sweater
The beat up sweater with the high school letter

Hand me down my soup an' fish

Wearin' clothes from a wildcat's hide

There must have been some magic in
That ol' silk hat they found

I'm puttin' on my top hat
Tyin' up my white tie
Brushin' off my tails
I'm dudin' up my shirt front
Puttin' in the shirt studs

For one small band of gold to place on sweet little Jenny's hand

Dance with a dolly with a hole in her stockin'

Maybe an asterisk on this one
She wore a brand New Jersey, that's what she did wear

Buttons and Bows

She Wore a Yellow Ribbon

The Black Velvet Band

I've got spurs that jingle, jangle, jingle

Hats Off To Larry

Put On Your Old Gray Bonnet

Re: Wearables

Last night I dressed in tails, pretended I was on the town
...
And my shoes are not accustomed to this hard concrete

Re: Wearables

Her clothes were hand-me-downs
...
Such a pretty face should be dressed in lace
...
I'd change her sad rags into glad rags if I could

Re: Wearables

And I didn't have a coat
And it was way down in the fall

Golden slippers I'm gonna wear

I feel almost embarrassed for missing this one given the time of year
In your Easter bonnet
With all the frills upon it

Re: Wearables

Oh, who threw the overalls in Mrs Murphy's chowder

I thought her the queen of the land
And her hair hung over her shoulders
Tied up with a black velvet band.

Re: Wearables

What the time was that was on my watch
...
And said her diamond watch had stopped cold dead

Re: Wearables

Said my pyjamas and put on my prayers
...
Next morning I woke and scrambled my shoes
...
I buttered my tie and took another bite
...
I powdered my hair and pinned up my nose

Re: Wearables

Murray, is it true Betty's wearin' your ring?
...
I don't care if my shirts are brown
...
My daddy's shorts were everywhere 
...
Picked up my clothes, they were finally dry

Re: Wearables

You're gonna need an ocean
Of calamine lotion


Wearin' my heart for a crown

The time is right, your perfume fills my head, the stars get red, and, oh, the night's so blue
