"I Love My Shirt" is a folk song by Donovan written for his album Barabajagal, released in the United States on August 11, 1969. While the album was not released in the United Kingdom due to a contractual dispute, "I Love My Shirt" did appear as the B-Side to an "Atlantis" single on November 1968.

In Sing, a quartet of turtles sang an excerpt (specifically the line "I love my shoes") from this song as their audition for Buster Moon's singing competition. However, their performance was excluded from the "Auditions" track on the Sing: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack.

Lyrics

Do you have a shirt that you really love
One that you feel so groovy in ?
You don't even mind if it starts to fade
That only makes it nicer still

I love my shirt, I love my shirt
My shirt is so comfortably lovely
I love my shirt, I love my shirt
My shirt is so comfortably lovely

Do you have some jeans that you really love
Ones that you feel so groovy in ?
You don't even mind if they start to fray
That only makes them nicer still

I love my jeans, I love my jeans
My jeans are so comfortably lovely
I love my jeans, I love my jeans
My jeans are so comfortably lovely

When they are taken to the cleaners
I can't wait to get them home again
Yes, I take 'em to the cleaners
And there they wash them in a stream
Scrub a rub dub dub
And there they wash them in a stream -
Know what I mean

Do you have some shoes that you really love
Ones that you feel so flash in ?
You don't even mind if they start to get some holes in
That only makes them nicer still

I love my shoes, I love my shoes
My shoes are so comfortably lovely
I love my jeans, I love my jeans
My jeans are so comfortably lovely
I love my shirt, I love my shirt
In fact I love my wardrobe

I love my shirt, I love my shirt
My shirt is so comfortably lovely
I love my shirt, I love my shirt
My shirt is so comfortably lovely
I love my shirt, I love my shirt
My shirt is so comfortably lovely

I love my shirt, I love my shirt
My shirt is so comfortably lovely
I love my shirt, I love my shirt
My shirt is so comfortably lovely

I love my shirt, I love my shirt
My shirt is so comfortably lovely
I love my shirt, I love my shirt
My shirt is so comfortably lovely
