The Streets - Harvey Nicks lyrics

[Intro] You know what I mean Cos man had flippin overalls on The pretty bird behind the tills taking the piss outta man Even giving man no help [Chorus] – Mike Skinner When I drop in Harvey Nicks To shop in Harvey Nicks If I don't look hardly slick Or appear hardly fit The cashier don't hardly trip The lady hardly flits Unless I'm wearing barmy sh** Or garments that are the sh** [Verse 1] – Teddy Mitchell The last time we was in here, we just lined with despair The pretty bird behind the till was flipping thru Marie Claire Flicking the end of her hair, fidgeting, all nervous Had us thinking "where the f** is the customer service?!" Must have been the flippin shabby overalls we're wearing And the batch of Cla**ics that were on the verge of tearing Cos Aunty's front room needed redecorating So we painted it light blue to make it look more radiant But today that ain't the case (na mate!) It's Lyle & Scott cardigans, that us man were draped in The pretty bird behind the till's grin is so blatant And s**ing man's bottom, cos she must think we got the papers So from this day forth, we must always recall Never ever to come back in here in overalls Cos pretty birds behind tills, they don't like to smile and talk To brehs bowling down in f**ing overalls [Chorus] [Verse 2] – Tony Mitchell It's as if she's never seen our mugs in here before Cos as soon as we was about to make a move, she released the door Pointing her finger at her a**istant to attend to both of our needs Chucking an opener on the counter, strutting towards Teddy and me Now its all a guided tour through the Lacoste new seasons Compliments on our retirements and offering us greetings Not to mention the welcome ? and the private seating That they usually use for the service twats With the request to them to bring the teas in But the other day, that weren't the case.. nah mate It was her on the phone to the security guard To follow us for no damn reason Looking down at her watch, giving us the cold shoulder treatment Asking us if we could hurry up cos they were closing early that evening So from that day forth, we have always remembered Never ever to wear overalls, its just absurd Cos overall, all over, overalls don't work Cos now that we're in line its got the bird flicking up her skirt [Chorus] [Verse 3] – Sway When I shop at Harvey Nicks Everybody thinks I'm a star Cos I wear my rented blazer And I step out my rented car A little girl with a pen ran up to me and said "I know who you are" But when I gave her my autograph she said "mum is this how u spell Lemar?" When I shop at Harvey Nicks The security give me grief They must think I'm a thief, cos I don't sound like The Streets Even when I'm just trying it on, they think I'm trying it on I said "why would I steal from you? I'm loaded" Then they called the police – "there's a guy with a gun!" Despite this, I like shopping here Cos it's a lot quicker than eBay I bumped into this Labour MP who was looking for a pair of CK I said "Hi, I'm Sway, and I hope you're having a nice day" Then I slapped him in his face and said "what type of party doesn't have a DJ?" I remember the first time I came here I was shoplifting and got nabbed In the shop lift I got grabbed "Hey you! Excuse me, open your bag!" I got put in a pair of handcuffs All for a pair of cufflinks I said "please sir, don't send me to prison, if its anything like Butlins" [Chorus] [Outro] Next time I'll come in, in a balaclava See what she does then, slag,slag,slag! That might not be a good idea, still
