lyrics
If I could wear my pants both day and night
I would wear those pants without a fight
Jeans and cords and khakis too
I love my pants, and you should too
If my pants were square and I had no hair
Spongebob and I would be a perfect pair
We'd stroll down the street without a care
But I just can't pick which one to wear
Bicycle shorts are a certain kind
Or so they say
Not everyone should wear bike shorts
But some people do it anyway
If my pants were square and I had no hair
Spongebob and I would be a perfect pair
We'd stroll down the street without a care
But I just can't pick which one to wear
Polyester, tweed or denim blue
I love my pants more than I love you
My doctor asked me to turn and cough
But I refuse to take my pants off
I wear my nuthuggers to the store
To buy some pants, 'cause I always need more
I can't get enough of those leg coverings
That's why I just bought a pair of sexy jeggings
If my pants were square and I had no hair
Spongebob and I would be a perfect pair
We'd stroll down the street without a care
But I just can't pick which one to wear
MC Hammer genies are kinda cool
Hanging low off my ass like the young kids do
If I could wear my pants on my head
I'd even wear my pants to bed
Oh wait. I do.
