Something To Brag About Lyrics - Charlie Louvin

I've got a real important job in a large office building 

Ridin' people in an elevator 

I drive a '57 Chevrolet with busted tail lights 

Burnt out valves and leaky radiator 

I wear a twenty dollar suit I bought from JC Penny's back in '62 

But I've got something to brag about something to brag about 

Yes something to brag about in you 

I'm a short order cook at an all night cafe 

Down on 18th Avenue and 12th Street 

I wear a swinging mini dress that I made for myself 

From mama's kitchen curtains and old bed sheets 

I've got seventeen pages of top value stamps and one old pair of shoes 

But I've got something to brag about something to brag about 

Something to brag about in you 

When you're with the fellas I know you start to bragging 

Bout my hour glass figure and my big brown eyes 

You tell your girlfriends bout my good good lovin' 

And that's one pleasure that money can't buy 

Let's get married in the not too distant future 

We'll rent a little flat on 29th Street 

You know we'll hang our washing on a clothesline from the window 

We'll feast on cornbread butter beans and lunchmeat 

We won't have a thermostat or a big long Cadillac 

But we'll have a love that's true 

And I'll have something to brag about I'll have something to brag about 

Something to brag about in you
