been so long since i've seen you mister
where'd you get that shirt and what'd you pay for it
though the pleats leave us in doubt
about the way you're handling a great priviledge
of knowing that without a simple fruit
you would be naked
i have another statement to make sir

clothes on the animals
clothes on the animals

it wasn't old snake that dressed you
it was temptation of the fruit
that made you realise
that the fabric fits another way
to say the least

you're only judged by the brand name mister
watcha gonna wear to the impending rapture
and d'you think it will look good on me

clothes on the animals
clothes on the animals

they know they know
enough about research
they know they know
enough about style
they know they know
enough about science
they know they know
i never luau
they know they know
enough about denim
they know they know
enough about heat
they know they know
enough of the nation
they know they know
enough about me

as for good taste and judgement
life's salvation in the form of a brand new wardrobe
the fruition of your destiny
to please so now

praise your good sense of fasion
praise the lotion on your skin
and your brand new haircut
so now you finally make sense to me

clothes on the animals
clothes on the animals

they know they know
enough about research
they know they know
enough about style
they know they know
enough about science
they know they know
i never luau
they know they know
enough about denim
they know they know
enough about heat
they know they know
enough of the nation
they know they know
enough about me

and it seems so funny to me
and it seems so funny to me

they know they know
enough about research
they know they know
enough about style
they know they know
enough about science
they know they know
i never luau
they know they know
enough about denim
they know they know
enough about heat
they know they know
enough of the nation
they know they know
enough about me
