"Short Skirt/Long Jacket" is the first single by American alternative rock band Cake from their 2001 album Comfort Eagle. 

The lyrics begin to describe an ideal fantasy woman, beginning with the simple desire for a woman with a short skirt and a long jacket, but then the descriptions go on to become much more elaborate and very specific, as if to tell a story about a particular woman.

John McCrea said the song was "about prosperity and depression" and the strange behavior of the human mating ritual.
