[00:00.000]My Winter Coat - The Roches
[00:06.901]The fit is generous and loose
[00:12.901]The coat is filled with down of goose
[00:18.751]Should I feel guilty about that
[00:24.531]I wouldn't wear the fur of a cat
[00:32.060]The coat is black so in New York City
[00:39.018]It doesn't look dirty it stays pretty
[00:45.747]The cuffs are purple which perfectly suits
[00:51.497]A pair I already had of boots
[01:01.157]Can't help sharing on a personal note
[01:06.877]A secret I have concerning the coat
[01:12.956]One of the reasons that it got my vote
[01:18.416]Is the way it lies open around the throat
[01:26.386]For me the collar mustn't come too high
[01:33.055]Because well all right my skin is dry
[01:39.315]So each morning I rub my face with oil
[01:45.505]And the fabric you see the grease could soil
[01:54.804]Can we speak a moment about the lining
[02:01.134]After my own heart's designing
[02:06.844]It's nylon so your skirts don't wind
[02:13.124]Up in a bunch around your behind
[02:20.504]When the time comes for the coat to clean
[02:26.943]You throw this thing in the washing machine
[02:33.982]Drying you doubt but the filling does fluff
[02:39.802]I'm here to proclaim this coat is enough
[02:49.012]The length of the coat is below the knees
[02:55.302]So in the cold your legs don't freeze
[03:00.852]I'm nuts about another one of it's charms
[03:06.752]There's plenty of room underneath the arms
[03:14.242]The coat's not bulky it weighs about an ounce
[03:20.931]And it's practically void
[03:22.461]Of any frivolous flounce
[03:28.311]I will admit it has shoulder pads
[03:34.001]All things considered it's not so bad
[03:43.021]It looks all right even from the side
[03:48.999]I guess because the bottom isn't overly wide
[03:58.139]Okay so you say you'd prefer something hipper
[04:04.459]But can I just tell you about the zipper
[04:10.215]I searched for it for many years
[04:15.815]Last one I had I tore up in tears
[04:23.895]It turned me into Jack the Ripper
[04:30.335]But now I stepped in Cinderella's slipper
[04:37.105]It runs from the gullet to
[04:38.805]Just south of the crotch
[04:43.365]And workin' it's a task you can hardly botch
[04:49.094]It's made of a material that will not rust
[04:54.903]It won't get stuck you don't get fussed
[05:02.073]It undoes easily in the usual way
[05:08.813]But you can also pull it up
[05:10.453]If you'd like to let's say
[05:15.643]Sit down on the train or climb some stairs
[05:21.643]Your desire to bend this coat about shares
[05:30.983]There's snaps as well which I don't even use
[05:36.673]But they beat out buttons if I had to choose
[05:46.292]I remember the night I went to the store
[05:52.422]Fighting my way across
[05:53.982]The cloak stuffed floor
[05:58.301]Suffocating I was it seemed
[06:03.760]When from a rack this last hope beamed
[06:11.810]Of all my requirements I pursued the trail
[06:18.528]To find furthermore the damn thing was on sale
[06:25.518]It had a small chain at the back of the neck
[06:30.688]So you could hang it on a hook
[06:32.398]But it broke what the heck
[06:40.278]With the end of each sleeve I'm totally smitten
[06:46.488]Ample space for to emerge a thick mitten
[06:52.117]If you wanna be warm
[06:53.527]It wins far and away
[06:57.656]It's like walkin' around
[06:59.306]In your bed all day
[07:05.906]I know you're not supposed
[07:07.096]To be so fond of a thing
[07:12.336]But today this is my heartfelt
[07:13.896]Inspiration to sing
[07:19.345]I hope you don't think
[07:20.475]I'm merely trying to be clever
[07:25.275]I wish this coat would last forever
