3 Dressed Up As A 9 - Trooper

I'll be the first to admit it, this is not my favorite trooper song. I do however think the title is extremely clever and I always get a laugh out if it, and have even used it in my daily life. This happened the other day, causing this song to become planted in my head for 2 solid days. Another Canadian band, hailing from Vancouver this time, this song kicked off their 1979 Flying Colors album. It is a fun little song, anchored by incredible vocal performance and a very solid and catchy musical progression, along with some rather humorous lyrics. This song makes for a great sing a long at any social gathering where drinking is involved, especially if a 3 dressed as a 9 is in attendance.

3 Dressed Up As A 9

Hey wait a minute
Who do you think you are
Comin' on, comin' on
Like you're some kinda movie star

Wearing twelve hundred dollars
D'ecollet'e
You looked a whole lot better to me
From twenty feet away

You're just a 3 dressed up as a 9
You're only, wastin' my time
A 3 dressed up as a 9, hey yeah ...
(All dressed up but you're only a 3, a 3 dressed up as a 9)

Socially
You know you fit in just right
But as for me
I'm gonna have to pass tonight

Well you can say what you like
Be what you wanna be
You can suit yourself, baby
But you don't suit me

You're just a 3 dressed up as a 9
You're only, wastin' my time
A 3 dressed up as a 9, hey yeah ...
(All dressed up but you're only a 3, a 3 dressed up as a 9)

Hey wait a minute
Who do you think you are
Comin' on, comin' on
Just like you're some kinda movie star

Well you can say what you like
Be what you wanna be
You can suit yourself baby
But you don't suit me

You're just a 3 dressed up as a 9
You're only, wastin' my time
A 3 dressed up as a 9, hey yeah ...
