"Houndstooth Dress" lyrics
Put on your houndstooth dress now, darlin'
Slip it on, I'll zip it up before we go
I want to walk right by your side into the party
And see every head turn everywhere that houndstooth goes
"Put on that houndstooth dress, darlin'
Put on that houndstooth dress!
Now that houndstooth dress you told me sure was a bargain
Waiting for you on a rack in a downtown second-hand store
Somebody else must have shrunk or else outgrown it
But that dress sticks to you like a judge sticks to the law
Put on that houndstooth dress, darlin'
Put on that houndstooth dress!
On a summer night the time is right for walking
Let's take our ease on the balmy breeze as we go
And we don't have to spend too long at the party talking
'Coz I want to have you in your houndstooth dress at home
Your houndstooth dress, baby
Your houndstooth dress!
Slip it on, I'll zip it up before we go
I want to walk right by your side into the party
And see every head turn everywhere that houndstooth goes
"Put on that houndstooth dress, darlin'
Put on that houndstooth dress!
Now that houndstooth dress you told me sure was a bargain
Waiting for you on a rack in a downtown second-hand store
Somebody else must have shrunk or else outgrown it
But that dress sticks to you like a judge sticks to the law
Put on that houndstooth dress, darlin'
Put on that houndstooth dress!
On a summer night the time is right for walking
Let's take our ease on the balmy breeze as we go
And we don't have to spend too long at the party talking
'Coz I want to have you in your houndstooth dress at home
Your houndstooth dress, baby
Your houndstooth dress!
