of "Charlie Brown" and "Yakety Yak" fame.The song is called "Shopping for Clothes". Toward the end of the song (the setting is in a men's clothes store) with the potenial buyer trying on a suit the tailor says that "suit is you", the buyer says "yeah and I want it too" The tailor says" "Let's see what we can do for you" The buyer says " That' fine, I wanna open up a credit line", the tailor says "let me do a little checkin' on you". After a short passage from the tuneful sax the tailor returns and says "I'm sorry my man but your credit didn't go through. The rejected buyer says "Um, um um. Pure, pure herringbone" The tailor ends with that's the suit you'll never own"
