Lyrics
I've got shoes, some brand new patent leathers
I got my hair slicked back so much, I look like Errol Flynn.
I tell ya baby, I never have looked better
Well you'd think a man of my position would have no trouble winning some young girl
But I seem to have developed this condition
Chorus:
Well I'm all dressed up and I've got no place to go
Got on a brand new tie and a brand new coat
I've got some brand new suspenders holding up my pants
Won't some sweet baby come and take me to a dance
I tell ya honey, I'm tired of this rejection
This staying home all night has got me feeling low
Well I'm all dressed up with no place to go
Just thinking 'bout all of those girls that I turned down
Where are those ladies now that there ain't none around?
I tell ya something, I think this night's depressing
When every woman that I know is saying no
Well I'm all dressed up with no place to go
