Songs that mention a fabric of some kind etc.

"I'm Still Here" from Follies
Good times and bum times,
I've seen them all and, my dear,
I'm still here.
Plush velvet sometimes,
Sometimes just pretzels and beer,
But I'm here...

 

[theluckyrabbit]

"Streets Of Laredo," Johnny Cash
As I walked out on the streets of Laredo.
As I walked out on Laredo one day,
I spied a young cowboy all wrapped in white linen,
Wrapped in white linen as cold as the clay...

"We DIdn't Start The Fire," Billy Joel
Roy Cohn, Juan Peron, Toscanini, Dacron...

Amyl and the sniffers - 70s Street Munchies, this is one of their early one and reminds me of Altered Images.

And I'm wearing my short skirt, my tall shoes & white hat (aye)
And I'm wearing my flare pants my lip stick and all that (aye)
And I'm wearing my favourite sweater... (Aye)
....
And I'm wearing my short shorts my flare pants and truck cap

Keep a-busy Cinderelly!
We can do it, we can do it
We can help our Cinderelly
We can make her dress so pretty
There's nothing to it, really
We'll tie a sash around it
Put a ribbon through it
When dancing at the ball
She'll be more beautiful than all
In the lovely dress we'll make for Cinderelly

Hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry
Gonna help our Cinderelly
Got no time to dilly-dally
We gotta get a-goin'

 

[LuvOrlando]

Song of the year for 2023, judging by the news

Yeah, my girl, she's one too, she'll go and get her a skirt
Stick it under her shirt, she grabbed a razor for me
And she did it just like that
When she wants something, man, she don't wanna pay for it

I'm sorry for your loss, I hope stumbling across the song gives you some measure of comfort.
It is one of my all time favorites too.

This is a pretty old one - Brian Hyland - Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini

If you're blue, and you don't know where to go to
Why don't you go where fashion sits?
Puttin' on the Ritz
Different types who wear a day coat
Pants with stripes and cutaway coat, perfect fits
Puttin' on the Ritz
Dressed up like a million-dollar trouper
Trying hard to look like Gary Cooper (super duper)
Come, let's mix where Rockefellers
Walk with sticks or umbrellas in their mitts
Puttin' on the Ritz
Have you seen the well-to-do
Up and down Park Avenue?
On that famous thoroughfare
With their noses in the air
High hats and Arrow collars
White spats and lots of dollars
Spending every dime for a wonderful time

I would have went with this version

Best Queen Bey evah did for my money!
So positive in a style not my own ( I can buy my own ring tym. )

How about "Corduroy" by Pearl Jam?

Type of fabric is in the title, but the lyrics only mention clothes in general.

I don't want to hear from those who know
They can buy but can't put on my clothes
I don't want to limp for them to walk
Never would have known of me before
I don't want to be held in your debt
I'll pay it off in blood let I be wed
I'm already cut up and half dead
I'll end up alone like I began

 

[LuvOrlando]

'Cause I love the way you say good morning
And you take me the way I am

If you are chilly
Here, take my sweater
Your head is aching
I'll make it better
