T-Shirt Song (Joe Pinson, ASCAP)

1. I went downtown lookin' around one day,
And this pretty young thing turned and looked my way
At first I just pretended she wasn't there,
But there ain't no way that I could avoid that stare.
Now all this attention is about to go to my head,
When all of a sudden she just walked right up and said,
"Pardon me, sir, I didn't intend to flirt.
All I was tryin' to do was read your t-shirt."

Chorus: T-shirts are takin' over the town.
T-shirts are turnin' heads around.
What used to be underwear is now worn everywhere,
And no one seems to care if you look like a clown.
T-shirts are takin' over the town.
T-shirts are turnin' heads around.
When I wear my "T", they all stare at me.
T-shirts are takin' over the town.

2. All around the country, near and far,
Women display the name of their favorite star.
The size of the gal determines what she can spell.
Most women I know have to settle for "Bill" or "Mel".
But there's this one young thing that's built like Dolly,
And when she wears her shirt it makes you think;
'Cause right there across the front in great big letters
It says "I'm in love with Englebert Humperdinck."

Repeat Chorus
