Credits/Backstory:

On my mantel lives a fine b&w photo by Kathleen Cei — The Mocking Birds at cafe 9 on the last Saturday of 9/99. Our final gig with drummer Scott McDonald. If you were there, you know how sweet it could be. If not. . . give a listen. — Johnny Java on bass, Dick Neal, guitars, and me, JV, rhythm guitar and vocal.

Lyrics:

I got a shirt makes me feel like a king
when I put it on I got everything
pretty girls surround me with riches galore
I get a little nervous, stick it back in the drawer…

I got a shirt, my favorite shirt….

I got a shirt makes me feel like my brother
when I put it on can’t tell one from the other
walkin’ down the street we get the great big “hello”
lotsa nice smiles for my long, lost bro’…

I got a shirt, my favorite shirt…

I got a shirt makes me feel just like you
I pull it out of the closet when I’m lonely and blue
one look in the mirror and I get feelin’ right
don’t bother comin’ home, we’re busy tonight…

I got a shirt, my favorite shirt….
