Long Sleeved Shirt

I was getting bored with the world one day
So I said "I'm gonna go on a shopping spree"
I went to the dress-up shop
picked me up a brand new top
it was a long sleeved shirt
just an ugly old thing anyone would wear

It was black and red and green and orange
too bad nothing rhymes with orange
I slipped the shirt on and walked out on the street
but the shirt hung right down under my feet
I looked like a multi-color bowling pin
I fell down

I went back in the dress up store
asked the clerk for a shirt that don't hang to the floor
he pointed to the tag on the collar of the neck and said
"pure cotton - what the heck!
just wash it a couple times!
you'll see it'll shrink!"

So I tripped on down to the laundromat
threw in a few loonies and left it at that
after some time I took a peek to see
shirt looked pretty damn good to me
so I tried it on
and it hung to my navel
belly button

I wore it all the time and no one seemed to care
as much for my shirt as for my belly button hair
pretty soon things weren't looking so bad
I'd started up my own little belly button fad
no one wears long shirts anymore
not unless you're the old fashioned kind
hide the belly button.
