You don’t wear a suit and tie to go swimming
You don’t wear a bathing suit for Thanksgiving.
You’d look like a turkey and you might get baked
With a pumpkin pie and a chocolate cake.
When you get dressed think about
What you’re going to do when you go out.
You wear gold and purple for the Mardi Gras
Or red, white and blue for the Fourth of July.
You wear orange and black on Halloween
Or a scary mask that’ll make them scream.
When you get dressed think about
What you’re going to do when you go out.
Oh yeah, there’s a time and there’s a place.
Oh yeah, unless you come from outer space.
You don’t wear boots if you’re running in a race.
You don’t want breakfast on your face.
Would you wear shorts to play in the snow,
Or a coat to the beach in Kokomo?
When you get dressed think about
What you’re going to do when you go out.
Oh yeah, there’s a time and there’s a place.
Oh yeah, unless you come from outer space.
You don’t wear a ski mask to the bank
Or an evening gown to drive a tank.
You wear a pair of socks with a pair of shoes,
Jump out of a plane with a parachute.
When you get dressed think about
What you’re going to do when you go out.
