Got A Bran' New Suit 1935 'Follow The Sun'

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 01 May 2002

He's the shining light of Harlem,
The ebony fashion plate,
Used to be a careless dresser,
but not of late.
He's takin' a walk in Harlem,
Swingin' in a Jubilee way!
The crowd yells:
"Where you goin', big boy?"
And he feels urged to say

Got a bran' new suit,
Got a bran' new tie,
Got a bran' new twinkle in my eye.
Do you know the reason why?
Got a bran' new girl,
an' I won't dispute
She's the reason
I got a bran' new tie
an' a bran' new suit.
When I'm with her,
Gotta look my best,
Put on my tan shoes, grey spats,
Doublebreasted vest.
Gotta wear my stickpin,
It's a Tecla pearl,
with a bran' new tie an' a bran' new suit,
And a bran' new girl.

Got a bran' new suit,
Got a bran' new tie,
Got a bran' new twinkle in my eye.
Do you know the reason why?
Got a bran' new girl,
an' I won't dispute
She's the reason
I got a bran' new tie
an' a bran' new suit.
When I'm with her,
Gotta look my best,
Put on my tan shoes, grey spats,
Doublebreasted vest.
Gotta wear my stickpin,
It's a Tecla pearl,
with a bran' new tie an' a bran' new suit,
And a bran' new girl.
