Shirts on Shirts - Gatsby Song

I assigned my students a project, so I decided to make one myself. Lyrics below: Gatsby, what you got? Shirts on shirts on shirts Gatsby got shirts on shirts on shirts He got shirts on shirts on shirts I got shirts on shirts on shirts Gatsby got shirts on shirts on shirts He got shirts on shirts on shirts Got a man across the pond Sendin' me shirts all year long Owl Eyes knows that it's real Silk - I know that's crazy I'm chasin' dreams with zeal All for my dream-girl Daisy Green light across the bay Gonna cry when she hears me say Got shirts on shirts on shirts Shirts on shirts on shirts (2x) Gatsby got shirts on shirts on shirts Shirts on shirts on shirts (3x) Tom B. - fall back First-name basis is how I roll Domenico and Stefano Better known to the masses As Dolce and Gabbana Don't believe me - check the tag Eckleberg can see my swag My butler brings the phone Armani's on the line No invitation's needed The party's all the time West Eggers call me Hugo Cause I'm the biggest Boss Tom only rocks the polo Him versus me - his loss I'm an Oxford man - it's true The college not the shirt Don't think my car is fast? Ask Myrtle if it hurt Got piles and piles of clothes So many it's hard to sort Once birthed as James Gatz Now it's Jay Gatsby, Old Sport Can't repeat the past? Why, of course, you can at last Got a man across the pond Sendin' me shirts all year long Owl Eyes knows that it's real Silk - I know that's crazy I'm chasin' dreams with zeal All for my dream-girl Daisy Green light across the bay Gonna cry when she hears me say Got shirts on shirts on shirts Shirts on shirts on shirts (2x) Gatsby got shirts on shirts on shirts Shirts on shirts on shirts (3x) Tom B. - fall back Got the flu cause I'm so sick My narration by Nick Whose judgments they come late Shirts so fly they call me Great Gucci tops up in the hydro Plane - that's how I fly But when I'm in the Rolls It's Burberry no tie Daisy thinks I'm cool Smooth as Egyptian cotton A hundred sixty two ply It's sea island poplin Pink-cloud pusher glad to see me Shirts on yachts like my boy DC Dan Cody taught me well It's cashmere every day Wolfshiem he cut me cuff links, and he don't play Loadin' Klips in my Gat like Springer His alias: the Boarder I've got so many shirts My alias: the Hoarder Say that you never loved him I'm going for a swim Got a man across the pond Sendin' me shirts all year long Owl Eyes knows that it's real Silk - I know that's crazy I'm chasin' dreams with zeal All for my dream-girl Daisy Green light across the bay Gonna cry when she hears me say Got shirts on shirts on shirts Shirts on shirts on shirts (2x) Gatsby got shirts on shirts on shirts Shirts on shirts on shirts (3x) Tom B. - fall back R.I.P., DC on the Toulomee Montenegro. St. Olaf's - where you at? Meyer. Yo, Daisy. We out. West Egg for life!
