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...
 [bad word] 

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...
