    Lyrics:
    Yeah
    Clean shirt, new shoes
    And I don't know where I am goin' to
    Silk suit, black tie (Black tie)
    I don't need a reason why
    They come runnin' just as fast as they can
    'Cause every girl crazy 'bout a sharp-dressed man
    Gold watch, diamond ring
    I ain't missin' not a single thing
    Cufflinks, stick pin
    When I step out, I'm gonna do you in
    They come runnin' just as fast as they can
    'Cause every girl crazy 'bout a sharp-dressed man
    Uh-huh
    Top coat, top hat
    And I don't worry 'cause my wallet's fat
    Black shades, white glove
    Lookin' sharp, lookin' for love
    They come runnin' just as fast as they can
    'Cause every girl crazy 'bout a sharp-dressed man
    Oh, you can't lose with the dress I use
    That's right, real fine

      The carpet was a bit too furry for my liking in the 80's, 90's were better before boob jobs became big, if you look through early 90's soft porn magazines, the women were just a lot more feminine, nicer hair, nicer carpet, less chance of silicone, what could be better?
      Ahhh women.. how can I stop the obsession?? There's so many beauties..

      +Tobias Chance Given that I've detected a bit of a running theme in ZZ Top's videos (unpopular/nerdy loser type gets bullied for being unpopular/nerdy loser type, but then is transformed by a change of clothes and the power of rock into the person who gets ALL the girls/guys worth having and gets to rub it in their bullies' noses, and also get a ride in Eliminator with three smokin' chicks), I wonder if maybe the boys themselves were a bit of the shy, unpopular, nerdy types in high school...

      @guitar19971 9 років тому +8

      +KoolCat ! The vast majority of people who are considered "cool" in adulthood were nerdy and unpopular in their teens especially when it comes to rock and roll musicians. Most forms of rock music are made for outsiders, the ones who never fit in with any other crowd and were usually picked on by the self elected popular crowd.

    This video captures the 80s atmosphere very well. ZZ Top still rockin for over 45 years. RIP Dusty thanks for the memories.

      52 years since they cut ZZ Tops First Album in 1971. The band has been together since 1969. So many great songs.

      63 here in 2020. My opinion is that it's un-American to dislike ZZ Top.
