Something To Brag About

I've got a real important job
In a large office buildin'
Ridin' people in an elevatorI drive a '57 Chevrolet
With busted tail lights
Burned out valves and a leaky radiatorI wear a twenty dollar suit
I bought from J.C. Penney's
Back in 1962But I've got something to brag about
Something to brag about
Something to brag about in youI'm a short-order cook
At an all night cafe
Down on 18th avenue and 12th streetI wear a swingin' mini dress
That I made for myself
From mama's kitchen curtains and old bed sheetsI've got 17 pages
Of Top Value stamps
And one old pair of shoesBut I've got something to brag about
Something to brag about
Something to brag about in youWhen you're with the fellas, I know
You start braggin' 'bout
My hour glass figure and my big brown eyesTell 'em, you tell your girlfriends 'bout my
Sweet, sweet lovin'
And that's one better that money can't buySo let's get married
In the not to distant future
We'll rent a little flat on 29th streetYou know we'll hang our washin'
On the clothes line from the window
We'll feast on corn bread, butter beans and lunch meatWe won't have a thermostat
A big long Cadillac
But we'll have a love that's trueLove has something to brag about
Yeah and I'll have, something to brag about
Yeah, something to brag about in you
