Something To Brag About

A
I've got a real important job In a large office buildin'
                    A
Ridin' people in an elevator, I drive a '57 Chevrolet
     A                                          E     A
With busted tail lights burned out valves and a leaky radiator
         D
I wear a twenty dollar suit I bought from J.C. Penney's
A          G D7
Back in 19-6-2

[Chorus]
             B            E
But I've got somethin' to brag about
B            E
Somethin' to brag about
B            E             A       D
Somethin' to brag about in you

[Verse 2]
D
I'm a short-order cook at an all night cafe
             D
Down on 18th avenue and 12th street
         D
I wear a swingin' mini dress that I made for myself
                    A                D
From mama's kitchen curtains and old bed sheets
         G
I've got 17 pages of Top Value stamps
        D           B
And one old pair of shoes

[Chorus]
             E            A
But I've got somethin' to brag about
E            A
Somethin' to brag about
E            A             D     G
Somethin' to brag about in you

[Bridge]
     G
When you're with the fellas, I know you start braggin' 'bout
   D
My hour glass figure and my big brown eyes
G
You tell your girlfriends 'bout my sweet, sweet lovin'
    A                                      D
And that's one better that money can't buy

[Verse 3]
   G
So let's get married in the not-to-distant future
                    G
We'll rent a little flat on 29th street
     G
You know we'll hang our washin' on the clothes line from the window
                           D                 G
We'll feast on corn bread, butter beans and lunch meat
C
We won't have a thermostat a big long Cadillac
    G            F#m         E
But we'll have a love that's true

[Chorus]
           A            D
I'll have, somethin' to brag about
                    A            D
Yeah and I'll have, somethin' to brag about
      A           D             G
Yeah, somthin' to brag about in you.
