[D#]
[E] [F#]
[E] [F#]
[E] [F#] That was speed kills.
[E] [F#] So I think we better slow things down, take a leisurely [E] stroll [F#] through the streets of Harlem.
Just [E] [F#] to
[E] [F#] keep the mood good, [E] we must [F#] make a few minor adjustments here.
Excuse me.
[E] [F#]
[E] [F#]
[E] [F#] I was shopping for a suit the other day and I walked into the department [E] store, [F#] stepped
on the elevator and told the girl, drive a little slower.
[E] [F#] When I got all the salesmen come up to me and said, what can I do for you?
[E] I [F#] said, go in there, show me all the sports clothes like you're supposed to.
[E] [F#] He said, sure buddy.
Come on in, dig the fabrics we got on the [E] shelves.
[F#] Dig yourself out one, try it on, stand in the mirror and dig [A#] yourself.
[C#] [F#m]
That suit is pure heaven, Lord.
[D#] Yeah, that's the suit I like to [E] own.
[F#m] Buddy, that suit is you.
[E] [F#m] [D#] Yes, I believe it too.
[C#m] I see [F#] for the businessman you're featuring a natural shoulder, that detailed wholesaler [F] kneel.
[F#] It's got the custom puffs and the walking shorts.
He said, I'm going to let you have the [F] besties.
For [F#] the playboy, you have the latest in 2E with the cutaway, black on white.
It's a box back, two button, walk model.
He said, I love that. Ooh, [F#m] [G#m] [F#] ooh.
That button's a solid gold.
[D#] You got a deal, [F#] it's sold.
[A] On the [F#] collars, pure camel hair.
Now you just sit right back down there, fat chick.
[C#m]
[F#] [C#] [E]
[F#] [G#] [D#] [F#m]
[F#]
You go back there and [G#] get that paper, let me sign on the dotted line.
[F#]
I'll make sure I got all my payments in right on time.
Check it out.
Then the man come back and he say, I'm sorry, my man, but what you mean?
[F#m] Ain't this a [F#] shame?
My [C#m] horse and camel.
[F#]
[F#m] Pure [C#m] heaven, Lord.
[F#] Lord have [F#m] mercy.
I got a good [E] job with [F#m] steady pay.
[F#] I'm walking here, what you say?
[C#m] [C#] [F#m]
[F#] [F#m] I feel so bad.
