I remember the night
You told me we were through
That you were no longer mine
And I did not belong to you
You said, "I'm leavin' town
I'm puttin' you down
'Goin back to Memphis with the new boy I found
But honey, you sure look cute
In your fine blue gabardine suit"
I remember the day
You took me by the hand
You said that you were mine
And "I'm gonna let you be my man
Get your money, honey
I know what to do
Today I saw the perfect blue color for you
And honey, you'll look so cute
In your brand new gabardine suit"
And we'll go...
Blue suit boogie
Jumpin' and-a-jivin' across the floor
Blue suit boogie
Reelin' and-a-rockin' til a quarter to four
Blue Suit Boogie
Jumpin' and-a-swingin' across the floor
Just you and me
Swingin' in my gabardine
Well, it's been six months
And I haven't gone swingin' at all
I spend my nights cryin'
While my blue suit hangs in the hall
But I woke up this morning
With a sweet smile on my face
I think my broken heart
Will finally find a restin' place
'Cause the girl I met today
Is so reet petite
So sweet and lovely, and light on her feet
She says, "Honey, you sure look cute
In your fine blue gabardine suit"
And we'll go...
Blue suit boogie
