My Winter Coat - The Roches[00:00:00]

The fit is generous and loose[00:00:06]

The coat is filled with down of goose[00:00:12]

Should I feel guilty about that [00:00:18]

I wouldn't wear the fur of a cat[00:00:24]

The coat is black so in New York City[00:00:32]

It doesn't look dirty it stays pretty[00:00:39]

The cuffs are purple which perfectly suits[00:00:45]

A pair I already had of boots[00:00:51]

Can't help sharing on a personal note[00:01:01]

A secret I have concerning the coat[00:01:06]

One of the reasons that it got my vote[00:01:12]

Is the way it lies open around the throat[00:01:18]

For me the collar mustn't come too high[00:01:26]

Because well all right my skin is dry[00:01:33]

So each morning I rub my face with oil[00:01:39]

And the fabric you see the grease could soil[00:01:45]

Can we speak a moment about the lining [00:01:54]

After my own heart's designing[00:02:01]

It's nylon so your skirts don't wind[00:02:06]

Up in a bunch around your behind[00:02:13]

When the time comes for the coat to clean[00:02:20]

You throw this thing in the washing machine[00:02:26]

Drying you doubt but the filling does fluff[00:02:33]

I'm here to proclaim this coat is enough[00:02:39]

The length of the coat is below the knees[00:02:49]

So in the cold your legs don't freeze[00:02:55]

I'm nuts about another one of it's charms[00:03:00]

There's plenty of room underneath the arms[00:03:06]

The coat's not bulky it weighs about an ounce[00:03:14]

And it's practically void[00:03:20]

Of any frivolous flounce[00:03:22]

I will admit it has shoulder pads[00:03:28]

All things considered it's not so bad[00:03:34]

It looks all right even from the side[00:03:43]

I guess because the bottom isn't overly wide[00:03:48]

Okay so you say you'd prefer something hipper[00:03:58]

But can I just tell you about the zipper[00:04:04]

I searched for it for many years[00:04:10]

Last one I had I tore up in tears[00:04:15]

It turned me into Jack the Ripper[00:04:23]

But now I stepped in Cinderella's slipper[00:04:30]

It runs from the gullet to[00:04:37]

Just south of the crotch[00:04:38]

And workin' it's a task you can hardly botch[00:04:43]

It's made of a material that will not rust[00:04:49]

It won't get stuck you don't get fussed[00:04:54]

It undoes easily in the usual way[00:05:02]

But you can also pull it up[00:05:08]

If you'd like to let's say[00:05:10]

Sit down on the train or climb some stairs[00:05:15]

Your desire to bend this coat about shares[00:05:21]

There's snaps as well which I don't even use[00:05:30]

But they beat out buttons if I had to choose[00:05:36]

I remember the night I went to the store[00:05:46]

Fighting my way across[00:05:52]

The cloak stuffed floor[00:05:53]

Suffocating I was it seemed[00:05:58]

When from a rack this last hope beamed[00:06:03]

Of all my requirements I pursued the trail[00:06:11]

To find furthermore the damn thing was on sale[00:06:18]

It had a small chain at the back of the neck[00:06:25]

So you could hang it on a hook[00:06:30]

But it broke what the heck[00:06:32]

With the end of each sleeve I'm totally smitten[00:06:40]

Ample space for to emerge a thick mitten[00:06:46]

If you wanna be warm[00:06:52]

It wins far and away[00:06:53]

It's like walkin' around[00:06:57]

In your bed all day[00:06:59]

I know you're not supposed[00:07:05]

To be so fond of a thing[00:07:07]

But today this is my heartfelt[00:07:12]

Inspiration to sing[00:07:13]

I hope you don't think[00:07:19]

I'm merely trying to be clever[00:07:20]

I wish this coat would last forever[00:07:25]
