The Lyrics
Personally I hate dress codes! I think you should be able to want whatever you want as long as it's not offensive to anybody. For example my current place of employment makes you wear long sleeves and pants in the middle of summer (cause APPARENTLY it makes you look more formal. PSH! Whatever... I would much rather wear shorts and a t-shirt)
Damn-Damn-Damn ties will choke
And make it hard to swallow
My shirts... Are stained
With some ketchup, Those aren't allowed
Work and class
Laws you have to follow
Hats? No way!
Go try a tuxedo!
Not the bar now! Dress in dress code!
No theme park now! Dress in dress code!
Can't wear those muddy, muddy boots
If you're an Office Guy
They want you wearing business suits
Strap on a bow
Or tie a tie!
Shorts discard now there's a dress code!
Jeans in shards now don't meet dress codes!
They'll greet you if you come in a blazer!
If you don't, They'll say "See you later!"
Go and shave, Need to pick up a razor!
Be stylish as that geek named Fraiser!
Duds are frayed
The schoolboard will warn ya
Shirt needs replaced
With sweaters or a polo
Rings in ears
On guys leave you throttled
For chicks? Okay...
Sure it's sexist. We don't care though!
In schools that are taught by nuns
That dress code makes you cry!
Wear black and white it's not much fun
To look like clones
Clothes you're assigned
At high class restaurants they will sputter
If you're dressed like your home's the gutter
It's black tie, You need more than your boxers
If you don't, You can't have their lobster
There's lots of crazy, crazy laws
The workplace makes you try
Put a shirt on over your bra
I know it blows
But you'll be fine
Make your shoes shine!
It's so hard now wearing dress code!
Must depart now from this dress code!
And make it hard to swallow
My shirts... Are stained
With some ketchup, Those aren't allowed
Work and class
Laws you have to follow
Hats? No way!
Go try a tuxedo!
Not the bar now! Dress in dress code!
No theme park now! Dress in dress code!
Can't wear those muddy, muddy boots
If you're an Office Guy
They want you wearing business suits
Strap on a bow
Or tie a tie!
Shorts discard now there's a dress code!
Jeans in shards now don't meet dress codes!
They'll greet you if you come in a blazer!
If you don't, They'll say "See you later!"
Go and shave, Need to pick up a razor!
Be stylish as that geek named Fraiser!
Duds are frayed
The schoolboard will warn ya
Shirt needs replaced
With sweaters or a polo
Rings in ears
On guys leave you throttled
For chicks? Okay...
Sure it's sexist. We don't care though!
In schools that are taught by nuns
That dress code makes you cry!
Wear black and white it's not much fun
To look like clones
Clothes you're assigned
At high class restaurants they will sputter
If you're dressed like your home's the gutter
It's black tie, You need more than your boxers
If you don't, You can't have their lobster
There's lots of crazy, crazy laws
The workplace makes you try
Put a shirt on over your bra
I know it blows
But you'll be fine
Make your shoes shine!
It's so hard now wearing dress code!
Must depart now from this dress code!

(SOTM) The only real problem I had with my school uniform was the inability to not wear black shoes on hot days. My feet were puddles by 3:10, srsly. That said, this parody could've used a bit of polishing, but otherwise this was a solid satire on clothing standards. 555!
(SOTM) I agree with TCOP that with a little more tweeking here and there, this could've been great, but it's still really good.
Luckily, I went to public school and didn't have a dress code. Otherwise, how could I be known as the guy with so many hawaiian shirts?! A lot of funny lines here and it was really well done, great job!
