The Pinstripes Are All That They See

Lyrics

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
