Comments and Reviews

xiphophilos 13th Aug 2024		Added Indianapolis pressing.
xiphophilos 28th Jul 2024		A side: Wingy Manone: I want a zoot suit with the reet pleat And a drape shape, and a stuffed cuff To look sharp enough to see my Sunday gal. Dorothy Mitchell: You want a reef sleeve with a right stripe And a rare square, so the gals will stare When they see you struttin’ with your Sunday pal. You want to look keen so your dream will say "You don't look like the same beau!" So keen that she'll scream "Here comes my walkin' rainbow!" Wingy Manone: So make a zoot suit with the reet pleat And a drape shape, and a stuffed cuff To look sharp enough to see my Sunday gal. – Now what do you want? Dorothy Mitchell: I want a brown gown with the zop top With a hip slip, and a laced waist In the sharpest taste to see my Sunday man. A scat hat and a zag bag And a slick kiss, so the other chicks Will be jealous when I’m with my Sunday fan. I wanna look keen so my dream will say “Ain’t I the lucky fellah” So keen that he’ll scream, “Baby’s in Technicolor” Wingy Manone: So make a reet pleat and a drape shape, and a stuffed cuff to look sharp enough to see my Sunday, Sunday gal!
