Lyrics
Why bother trippin' out on gear
when it's only gonna be out of style next year?
And I'll say it, though it should be clear;
that who you really are is all that really matters. x2
When I- go to the club, gotta look my best
it's a.. bold statement to be sharply dressed
so I.. took the money that I need to eat (wha?)
and went down to Valencia Street, got a sweet
little outfit, for my next night on the town
some bellbottom slacks, that flare right to the ground
with the superbad Nehru Jacket (Supa bad!)
a ruffled white shirt and a peace medallion, I'm 'bout to Mack it!
Now, a hip lookin' cat like me
doesn't stand around waiting, so confidently
I walked up to the guy at the door,
before I could say "step aside", he was like: "What you standin' here for?"
"Man, I'm tryin' to get in the spot!"
He said; "Looking like THAT you're not! You seem caught
in a whole nother era", and I'm like: "Wait-
you mean to tell me this isn't 1968?"
