Something To Brag About — текст песни (George Jones)

(Bobby Braddock)

(G.J.)
I`ve got a real important job
In a large office buildin`
Ridin` people in an elevator

I drive a `57 Chevrolet
With busted tail lights
Burned out valves
And a leaky radiator

I wear a twenty dollar suit
I bought from J.C. Penney`s
Back in 1962

But I`ve got somethin` to brag about
Somethin` to brag about
Somethin` to brag about in you

(T.W.)
I`m a short-order cook
At an all night cafe
Down on 18th avenue and 12th street

I wear a swingin` mini dress
That I made for myself
>From mama`s kitchen curtains
And old bed sheets

I`ve got 17 pages
Of Top Value stamps
And one old pair of shoes

But I`ve got somethin` to brag about
Somethin` to brag about
Somethin` to brag about in you

When you`re with the fellas, I know
You start braggin` `bout
My hour glass figure
And my big brown eyes

(G.J.)
Tell `em
You tell your girlfriends `bout my
Sweet, sweet lovin`
And that`s one better that
Money can`t buy

(both)
So let`s lget married
In the not-to-distant future
We`ll rent a little flat
On 29th street

You know we`ll hang our washin`
On the clothes line from the window
We`ll feast on corn bread, butter beans and lunch meat

We won`t have a thermostat
A big long Cadillac
But we`ll have a love that`s true

(G.J.)
Love has, somethin` to brag about
(T.W.)
Yeah and I`ll have, somethin` to brag about
(both)
Yeah, somthin` to brag about in you.
