Lyric

When your mother walked into that

Dance hall in Montrichard, what did she see?

Through the haze of Champagne, did she

Notice my brain or my College degree?

Kid, what she saw was a uniform

Through the dirt and debris

Yes, those ladies gave thanks

To us visiting Yanks

'Cause pinstripes are all they see

When a pilot walks onto the plane, all the passengers smile and relax

(Smile and relax, smile and relax)

Do they know he's still tight from that

Party last night, or the back-to-back jacks?

(Due to that)

Now what they see is a uniform

How it fits, it fits to a tee

Like that visiting team

That the Yankees will cream

Pinstripes are all that they see

If you wanna be a someone

You can't look like a bum

A book's judged by its cover

That's the first Rule of Thumb

I wanna see you take off

Straight to the top floor

Start dressing to impress 'em

Son, you'll stroll in the front door

A kid in a man's candy store, yeah

Every lawyer's bespoke to the nines

To a jury, he's smart and refined

(Smart and refined)

And they see one look the defendant's a crook or that justice is blind

(Watch that's blind)

What they see is the uniform

That he bargains a plea

They are cease and desist

So hard to resist

Pinstripes are all that they see

Sing it with me!

Yeah, we're gonna hit the highlife

We've only just begun

We're gonna be together

Frank Sr. and son

Dine at the Latin Quarter

A night cap too short

Yeah, we're gonna be at ringside

Life will be better than before

For two kids in a man's candy store

- It's already the end -
