[Intro]                                         [Verse 1] There’s a sale on our   gabardine suits today.          They’re all thirty percent off from yesterday.                    There’s Fortrel polyester leather wool and tweed.          Just a Visa or Mastercard is all you need.                    We got every color we got ev’ry shade We’re located next door to Willy’s Fun Arcade We got every fabric that was ever made But I’m known in this city as the King of Suede. [Verse 2] We got portly and regular and extra-long (Is my size up there?). We got tailors to fix it if it comes out wrong (Is my size up there?). We got all kinds of sweatshirts you can take your pick (Is my size up there?) With the collars ripped off like in that Flashdance flick (Is my size up there?). Our prices are low my staff is underpaid You can buy off the rack or have it custom-made And it’s all guaranteed to never shrink or fade ’Cause of my reputation as the King of Suede. [Verse 3] If you need a tuxedo for your junior prom (Is my size up there?) We can get you the best one that’s made in Taiwan (Is my size up there?). We got jackets with patches on the elbows too  (Is my size up there?) And we’ll sell ’em all factory-direct to you (Is my size up there?). Well I never made it past the second grade It took all of my life for me to learn this trade But my friends are all thinking that I’ve got it made ’Cause I’m known the world over as the King of Suede. [Bridge]   There’s a two-for-one sale on our three-piece suits Check out our suede pajamas and our suede-covered boots You can try on our suede underwear if you choose Do what you want but don’t step on my blue suede shoes [Interlude]             B9sus             B9sus       / / /  / [Verse 4]            Asus2/B    B7sus Don’t miss out on our giant liquidation sale (Is my size up there?)          B7sus Look for our color catalog in next week’s mail (Is my size up there?)           N.C. There’s a sale on our double-knit slacks today It’s the same old sale as yesterday.       Thirty years in the same location I have stayed There I am right next door to Willy’s Fun Arcade. I got tough competition but I’m not afraid ’Cause it’s my destiny to be the King of Suede. [Outro]   King of Suede.   King of Suede.   King of Suede. I’ll always be King of Suede. I’ll always be King of Suede.

Dans cette chanson, le narrateur se présente comme le roi du daim dans sa ville, vantant son magasin de vêtements où tout est en promotion. Il met en avant la variété des tissus et des styles proposés, tout en précisant que les prix sont bas malgré un personnel sous-payé. On sent une touche d'humour dans sa description des vêtements et des accessoires inhabituels qu'il vend, comme des pyjamas en daim. Le contexte se situe dans un monde exagéré où la mode, même si elle semble dérisoire, est présentée de manière presque royale. Le protagoniste est fier de son métier et de sa longévité dans le secteur, illustrant ainsi la passion et l'attachement à son commerce.
