"See My Vest" is a song sung by Mr. Burns where he describes his plan to turn the greyhound puppies into a greyhound fur tuxedo. It also notes what he does with all his animals: turning them into a variety of clothes.

Lyrics

Mr. Burns:

Some men hunt for sport,

Others hunt for food,

The only thing I'm hunting for,

Is an outfit that looks good...

See my vest, see my vest,

Made from real gorilla chest,

Feel this sweater, there's no better

Than authentic Irish setter.

See this hat, 'twas my cat,

My evening wear - vampire bat,

These white slippers are albino

African endangered rhino.

Grizzly bear underwear,

Turtles' necks, I've got my share,

Beret of poodle, on my noodle

It shall rest.

Try my red robin suit,

It comes one breast or two,

See my vest, see my vest,

See my vest.

Like my loafers? Former gophers -

It was that or skin my chauffeurs,

But a greyhound fur tuxedo

Would be best,

So let's prepare these dogs,

Fat cheeked housekeeper:

Kill two for matching clogs.

Mr. Burns:

See my vest, see my vest,

Oh please, won't you see my vest!
