Two Dozen and One Greyhounds (See My Vest) Lyrics

Some men hunt for sport
Others hunt for food
The only thing I'm hunting for
Is an outfit that looks good

See my vest, see my vest
Made from real gorilla chest
Feel this sweater, there's no better
Than authentic Irish Setter

See this hat, 'twas my cat
My evening wear, vampire bat
These white slippers are albino
African endangered rhino

Grizzly bear underwear
Turtle necks, I've got my share
Beret of poodle - on my noodle
It shall rest

Try my red robin suit
It comes one breast or two
See my vest, see my vest
See my vest

Like my loafers? Former gophers!
It was that or skin my chauffeurs
But a greyhound fur tuxedo
Would be best
So let's prepare these dogs
(Kill two for matching clogs)
See my vest! See me vest!
Oh, please, won't you see my vest!
