The other day I wandered down
To the trendy part of town
Bought myself a funky little hat
Had a cup of herbal tea
With a guy that looked just like me
And we had a pretty deep sort of chat
He said he couldn't hack it
So I bought another jacket
It was made of tweed with leather elbow patches
Its cool was in doubt
But I sorted it out
With a couple of very clever little badges
I love dressing up like the other boys
You know last time I saw you
When I said I wore green before you
Well I realised today that I was wrong
Who could forget the party that time
When you mixed red with a sneaky lime
And I said "hey that combo's pretty strong"
I want to hold you tight
And tell you you were always right
But it's just too hard and I don't want to be hurt
So I help you with your bunches
While we finish up our brunches
And imagine how I'd say it on a t-shirt
I love dressing up like the other boys
Later on the bus I'm wearing black
The city boys are laughing at my back
I know they're only jealous
Cos they dress like my dad
Yhey're always trying to tell us
That they think it's kinda sad that...
I love dressing up like the other boys
(Flicking through the racks in the charity shops for a tight little cardigan)
I love dressing up like the other boys
(Drainpipe jeans with tight ankles and baggy knees)
I love dressing up like the other boys
(You'll never understand)
I love dressing up like the other boys
(We're all unique together)
