Richard Thompson Little Blue Number lyrics

My oh, my, but you do look the killer
Never mind the duds, just look at that hat
All that green chartreuse on the waistcoat
How do you come by something like that?

Where did you get that little blue number?
How do you make those rhinestones shine?
Do you go on the prowl while other folks slumber?
Did you steal those things right off of the line?
Hold your horses, that's something of mine

That little blue number, little blue number
Little blue number, little blue number

Ice blue jacket, vent down the middle
Shark-skin trimmings and all that jazz
Real rabbit's foot on a two-tone tie pin
Lots of good luck and razzmatazz

Where did you get that little blue number?
How do you squeeze into something like that?
Is that the same one I was wearing last summer?

I wish I was glad for you, but I'm sorry
Did the whole thing fall off the back of a lorry?

That little blue number, little blue number
Little blue number, little blue number

Tartan shirt with the button-down collar
Velvet hat-band, crocodile shoes
Diamond bracelets, hounds tooth pockets
Everybody saying, "Here comes good news"

Where did you get that little blue number?
Rings a bell in the back of my mind
You better come clean if you don't want to lumber
I told you three times, you don't seem to get it
That's my idea, you're taking the credit

That little blue number, little blue number
Little blue number, little blue number
