The South Street Suit Salesman

The South Street Suit Salesman I’ve been around for quite awhile and I'm sharp as a tack and I can keep track of 100 suits hung neat on a rack what colors we have and even the black It's also a fact that I've got a knack for what ties to use when business is slack I can pick out a shirt to go with the tie to wear with the suit and pick out the shoes to go over the socks with the color I choose come here , young man, you've got nothing to lose what's your name, well hi there, Clem You're short on cash, here's an ATM for 100 bucks this jacket will fit you like a glove this design was created as an act of love try it on, go ahead, now don't you look great I swear it's like bait to attract a chick but you must buy this tie to complete the match when you walk out that door you'll be quite a catch Now go see Luigi, he'll measure you up there's shirts in that corner and ties over there. get rid of those shoes you want these wing tips to wear. Here's my card, just mention my name I'll slip you a shirt if you bring someone here Until I see you again, always dress well Jeans are for hayseeds, they don't ring a bell Advertisement: sell something etc. Sponsored by Lewis Raynes March 7, 2018

Thanks, Jan. There actually was a South St. and I used to haggle price with the salesmen.
