Sharp Dressed Man

[Jeff]

Hi Johnny
Thanks for producing this most excellent ZZ Top tune.
It is a firm favourite of mine I had tried to work out a version of my own but without success.
When I received your email I just had to have a copy, and now I have.
Great stuff, and I love the energy of your performance.
Cheers Jeff

Thanks so much, John! This air is way cool and has your signature flourish.
Ya, crisp. Just love it! Love you too!
Rockin’

Clean shirt, new shoes
And I don’t know where I am goin’ to
Silk suit, black tie (black tie)
I don’t need a reason why
They come runnin’ just as fast as they can
‘Cause every girl crazy ’bout a sharp-dressed man
Gold watch, diamond ring
I ain’t missin’ not a single thing
Cufflinks, stick pin
When I step out I’m gonna do you in
They come runnin’ just as fast as they can
‘Cause every girl crazy ’bout a sharp-dressed man
Top coat, top hat
And I don’t worry ’cause my wallet’s fat
Black shades, white gloves
Lookin’ sharp, lookin’ for love
They come runnin’ just as fast as they can
‘Cause every girl crazy ’bout a sharp-dressed man

“Sharp Dressed Man’ is a winner low down Blues. Sounds like a Country Blues found on an old 38 rpm record. Rock and roll blues. Thanks for posting the lyrics Mark and thanks for the music Johnny
