What’s that you say
you’ve not seen me around
well see
I just got back in town
went for a trip
quite far away
but now
I plan to settle down
I brought back
some new friends
friends I find dear
though some folks
well
they react with fear
my new friends
may appear
a little strange
they’re just not
well
not from around here
I see you smirking
at my suit
it includes the hat
and the gloves to boot
it really helps
should I grow weightless
but around here
I guess
that point is moot
it keeps UV rays
off my bald cranium
and it’s made
of strong-as-steel
titanium
it makes me invisible
to radar
and impervious
to uranium
I wear it now
almost everyplace
the reflection
helps conceal my face
when raining
it keeps me very dry
and there’s a jet pack
if I choose to race
so please
don’t make fun
of my wardrobe
it’s perfect
for someone on the go
it’s fireproof
if you’re grilling out
and in the dark of night
it glows
so
here’s a little tip
I’ll share with you
I don’t worry
about all the ballyhoo
let folks stare
and shake their head
because I know
my fashion sense
is way way ahead
