When your mother walked into That dancehall in Mantrichard What did she see? Through the haze of champagne Did she notice my name Or my college degree? Kid, what she say... was the uniform! Through the dirt and debris. Yes, thoses ladies gave thanks To us visiting Yanks 'Cause the pinstripes are all that they see. When a pilot walks onto the plane All the passengers smile and relax. (Smile and relax) Do they know he's still tight From that party last night Or the back to back "jacks"? (Stewed to the max) No! What they see is the uniform. How it fits, it fits to a T. Like the visiting team That the Yankees will cream Pinstripes are all that they see. If you wanna be a someone You can't act like a bum. A book's judged by its cover That's the first rule of thumb. I wanna see ya take off Straight to the top floor. Start dressin' to impress 'em And son you'll stroll in the front door. A kid in a man's candy store. Every lawyer's bespoke to the nines To a jury he's smart and refined. (Smart and refined) Do they see with one look The defendant's a crook Or that justice is blind? (Watch the wheels grind) What they see is the uniform As he bargains a plea. They all cease to desist He's so hard to resist 'Cause the pinstripes are all that they see. Yes, we're gonna hit the high life We've only just begun. We're gunna be together Frank Sr. and son. Dine at the Latin quarters A night cap at "Toots Shor" Yeah, we're gonna be at ringside And life will be better than before For two kids in a man's candy store.
