Lyrics
When it's time to make a big shirt, then he always makes it small If you're looking for a short hat, he'll be sure to make it tall If you ask him for a wide tie, it just seems to come out thin When you want your pockets outside, wait and see, they'll end up in

Too-Loose (Too-Loose) What's your excuse? (What's your excuse?)

If your boots need to be heavier, it's lighter they will get If your sleeves need to be longer, they'll get shorter, you can bet If your shorts should end above the knee, he'll make them end below And if "buttons on the left," you say, then on the right they'll go

Too-Loose (Too-Loose) Ya silly goose (ya silly goose)

There's a trick - just say the opposite of what you really mean So for bows that go beside your toes, say, "Stick 'em in between." If you want the highest heels you simply ask him for the lowest Yes, to get the least appalling clothes, just say you want the most.
