Oxford Cloth Blues
Shirt is on a hanger but shoes are in the sink
Shirt is on a hanger but shoes are in the sink
Eat your cream of wheat
while your lips are still so pink
The watch is on the nightstand khakis are all pressed
The watch is on the nightstand khakis are all pressed
Breathe deeply honey baby
I will get you dressed
That old Oxford doc says it’s much too late for shoes
That old Oxford doc says it’s much too late for shoes
and you are all laid up with the Oxford cloth blues
Whole world is in order your folded v-neck tee
Whole world is in order your folded v-neck tee
Stay right here darlin’
you’ll be looking fine with me
Everything you own you had done it by the book
Everything you own you had done it by the book
but where you have gone you won’t need a preppy look
That old Oxford doc says it’s much too late for shoes
That old Oxford doc says it’s much too late for shoes
now I am all laid up with the Oxford cloth blues

So much to love about this. By the end I’ve surrended to Oxford Cloth Blues. I’m partial to this verse:
Whole world is in order your folded v-neck tee
Whole world is in order your folded v-neck tee
Stay right here darlin’
you’ll be looking fine with me
Love this.
I love the repetition.
