Daniel on ‘Fitted Shirt’:
“It’s just about finding shirts that fit right. It’s a real true story. My grandfather died and I had to buy some dress shirts since mine were all outdated or stained. Everything I tried on was baggy or puffy and made for Americans that want to be comfortable but not look...
[Verse 1]
When I was still growing up
And Dad head off to work
He put coat and tie on
Over a fitted shirt
Nothing else will fit right
Or seem so directly applied
Than fitted shirt hung on me
Fitted shirt, alright
[Pre-Chorus]
I long for the days
They used to say
Ma'am and yes sir
For now, I'm going to find
Buttons for my
Dad's old used shirt
[Chorus]
Fitted shirt
Fitted shirt
[Verse 2]
Been looking so long now
And no one's seen and no one heard
But when I go out tonight
I'm going to put on a fitted shirt
[Pre-Chorus]
One day it'll take
And they'll start to make
Shirts that fit right
Till then I suppose
I still got Dad's clothes
And that's alright
[Chorus]
Fitted shirt
Fitted shirt
Fitted shirt
Fitted shirt
Fitted shirt
Fitted shirt
Fitted shirt
Fitted shirt
