CUFF LINKS AND A TIE CLIP
(Wally Gold / Aaron Schroeder)

as recorded by Nancy Sinatra
with orchestra conducted by Tutti Camarata
1961


Cuff links and a tie clip, oh yeah!
Cuff links and a tie clip, oh yeah!
Cuff links and a tie clip,
Doo-di-doop-doop, doo-wop!

He was wearin' cuff links and a tie clip,
And as I believe his suit looked swell,
I was in my pin curls and my chinos
When he, ding-a-ling, rang the bell.

With his cuff links and his tie clip,
He was dressed for a party, it's true.
But when he looked and saw
The crazy clothes I wore,
He said, "Whoa, what gives with you?
You got cold cream all over your face,
Gee, you're such a sight!"
Well good gosh, Marty,
My birthday party
Ain't until tomorrow night!

So I took his cuff links and his tie pin,
And I made him feel right at home.
I put on the hi-fi with the lights low
And we had a little party of our own!

"You got cold cream all over your face,
Why gee, you're such a sight!"
Well good gosh, Marty,
My birthday party
Ain't until tomorrow night!

So I took his cuff links and his tie pin,
And I made him feel right at home.
I put on the hi-fi with the lights low
And we had a little party,
What a crazy little party of our own!

Cuff links and a tie clip,
Oh yeah!
Cuff links and a tie clip,
Whoa, what a party, oh man!
Cuff links and a tie clip,
What a party!
Cuff links and a tie clip,
Whoa...
