[Verse 1: Glam-rock male lead, strutting glam vocal, every line on the clap] Gold sequin jacket with a collar like a crown Every sequin sewn by hand by a lady downtown Wore it to the corner store, I wore it to the bank Wore it to the dentist and the dentist said thanks Then I hung it on a hook at a party in July Turned around a minute and the hook said goodbye Eight weeks lookin' in every closet in the town Then a weddin' in the park and I see it walkin' down [Hook: Glam-rock male lead, full band, huge glam-rock hook] Get my gold off your shoulders, get it off your back I can see it from the aisle, it's my jacket, that's a fact Have the first dance, groom, I'm a gentleman, see Then it's off of your back and it's back on me [Verse 2: Glam-rock male lead, strutting harder, every line on the snare] I was standin' by the punch bowl in my second-best coat Every auntie at the table thought I came to make a toast And the groom was in my jacket with a flower on the lapel And I hate to say it, people, but he wore it pretty well Bride looked at him like a mirror ball in June So I let 'em have the first dance, let 'em have the tune Then the last note rang and I walked across the crowd Tapped him on the shoulder and I said it nice and loud [Hook: Glam-rock male lead, full band, huge glam-rock hook] Get my gold off your shoulders, get it off your back I can see it from the aisle, it's my jacket, that's a fact Have the first dance, groom, I'm a gentleman, see Then it's off of your back and it's back on me [Bridge: Glam-rock male lead, zipper rip, the band stops on one long zipper pull, then the whole band lands] One long pull and the gold comes free Then the bride caught my wrist and she smiled at me Said, I sewed every sequin downtown in the spring And I made you a silver one, it's ready Thursday, king [Final Hook: Glam-rock male lead, full band, huge glam-rock hook, handclaps everywhere] Get my gold off your shoulders, get it off your back I can see it from the aisle, it's my jacket, that's a fact Have the first dance, groom, I'm a gentleman, see Then it's off of your back and it's back on me [Outro: Glam-rock male lead, last strut over the floor-toms] So I put it back on him and I fixed his collar right Thursday I'll be silver and I'm shinin' twice as bright Bride and groom in the gold and the silver on the way Every sequin in the park gonna shine on Saturday [End]
