  • Flashin' lots of cash and spendin' lots-o-loot
    He's sitting at the bar then he's sittin' at the booth
    Across the dance floor he does scoot he's the skinny sweaty man in the green suit

    The caboose that could he goes toot toot been known to gag and sometimes puke
    A very good friend of granny goose he's the skinny sweaty man in the green suit

    Skinny sweaty man in the green suit
    He's half man and half cartoon
    But good buddy don't be confused
    He's full blooded Looney Tune

    He's a skinny sweaty man, in his green suit, face-to-face with the man in the moon
    His family doctor is Doctor Seuss if you catch him in your soup please don't shoot
    A skinny sweaty man in his little suit
    Skinny sweaty man in the green suit

    He was new in town
    A freewheelin' clown
    A very funny young duke Hangin' under the roof
    Of a place in time United sound

    He'll play a little guitar, sing a few blues
    He's the kind-a-guy that you can't refuse
    Despite the fact that he's no brute
    He's the skinny sweaty man in the green suit

    Strike the magic groove, make him jerk and move
    Like an eight legged freak in snake skin boots
    Coming soon to a theater near you
    He's the skinny sweaty man in the green suit
