Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Listen, people
[Verse 2]
Now every season, section-y sectioning
Silks, linens, cottons, nylons, polyesters-ing
Who knows, might even throw a couple extensions in
Tell 'em, Tony
[Verse 3]
Mainly Italians and Brits, we've invested in
Oh, I must mention the surnames we're steppin' in
Lancock, Smith, just a few we've accepted in
To be part of the gang, you need to have a presence in
In our selection, election is no questionin'
Strictly the dog's nuts for Roley and dressed in
Seville suits with fine temple, single breasted in
These are made measured to the T, like Brex and M
Never yacky fitted, Fred Perry, we correct him in
[Verse 4]
You know what I mean?
[Verse 5]
'Cause, man had flippin' overalls on
This pretty bird behind the till's takin' a piss at him, man
Just look, she been givin' man no help
[Verse 6]
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 shit
Or garments that are the shit
[Verse 7]
The last we was in here, we just blank with despair
The pretty bird behind the till was flippin' through Marie Claire
Flickin' the end of her hair, fidgetin' all nervous
Had us thinkin' where the fuck is the customer service?
Must have been the flippin' shabby overalls we were wearin'
And the back of Classics that were on the verge of tearin'
'Cause auntie's front room needed redecoratin'
So we painted it light blue to make it look more radiant
But today that ain't the case
Nah, mate
[Verse 8]
It's Lyle & Scott cardigans that us men are draped in
The pretty bird behind the till's fuckin' grin is so blatant
It's suckin' man's bottom, 'cause she must think we've got the papers
So from this day forth, we must always recall
Never, ever to come back in here in overalls
'Cause pretty birds behind tills, they don't like to smile and talk
To brehs ballin' round in fuckin' overalls
[Verse 9]
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 shit
Or garments that are the shit
[Verse 10]
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 shit
Or garments that are the shit
[Verse 11]
Bro, it's as if she's never seen our mugs in here before
'Cause as soon as we was about to make a move
She released the door
Pointin' the finger at her assistant to attend to both of our needs
Chuckin' an ol' pedant onto the counter
Struttin' towards Teddy and me
Now it's all a guided tour through the Lacoste new seasons
Compliments on our attire, mints, and offer us greetin's
Not to mention the welcome sample squirts and the private seatin'
That they usually use for the selfish twats
Whenever pressed for them to bring the teas in
[Verse 12]
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
Lookin' down at her watch, givin' us the cold shoulder treatment
Askin' us if we could hurry up, 'cause they were closin' early that evenin'
So from that day forth, we have always remembered
Never, ever to wear overalls, it's just absurd
'Cause overalls, all over, overalls don't work
'Cause now that we're in line, it's got the bird flickin' up her skirt
[Verse 13]
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 shit
Or garments that are the shit
[Verse 14]
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 shit
Or garments that are the shit
[Verse 15]
When I shop at Harvey Nicks
Everybody thinks I'm a star
'Cause 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 you spell Lamar?"
[Verse 16]
When I shop at Harvey Nicks
The security give me grief
They must think I'm a thief
'Cause I don't sound like The Streets
Even when I'm just tryin' it on
They think I'm tryin' 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)
[Verse 17]
Despite this, I like shoppin' here
'Cause it's a lot quicker than eBay
I bumped into this Labour MP who was lookin' for a pair of CK
I said, "Hi, I'm Sway, and I hope you're havin' a nice day"
Then I slapped him in his face and said,
"What type of party doesn't have a DJ?"
[Verse 18]
I remember the first time I came here
I was shopliftin' and got nabbed
In the shoplift, 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 it's anything like Butlins "
[Verse 19]
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 shit
Or garments that are the shit
[Verse 20]
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 shit
Or garments that are the shit
[Verse 21]
Next time I'll come in
In a balaclava
See what she does then
Slag
[Verse 22]
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
