O! the 'Leather' Outside's Acrylic
Tune: Sammy Cahn's and Jule Styne's "Let it Snow"
O! the "leather" outside's acrylic,
And the label's in Cyrillic;
But since I'm a trifle stout,
Let it out! Let it out! Let it out!
O! the lining inside is dropping,
And the buttons all are popping;
But rather than go without,
Let it out! Let it out! Let it out!
When I finally shed this girth,
I'll buy fur, and expensive withal.
(At the risk of exciting mirth,
That means this could be my pall.)
O! my jacket is slowly dying,
But I couldn't dream of buying.
As long as I'm "roundabout,"
Let it out! Let it out! Let it out!
