Lymon's New Suit

Another time Wining Boy comes back to the house after failing to pawn his old silk suit, and here enter Lymon and Boy Willie after selling the watermelons to rich white folks. Wining Boy then talks Lymon into buying the suit and shoes, and says that the outfit will make the ladies fall for him. This makes me think of “Sharp Dressed Man” by ZZ Top. “Clean shirt, new shoes, and I don’t know where I’m goin’ to.  Silk suit, black tie, I don’t need a reason why.” This is a perfect fit for this scene. After buying the suit Lymon and Boy Willie go out, and Lymon picks up a girl and takes her back to the house. Clearly every girl is crazy about a sharp dressed man.
