Pants Is Overrated Songtext
von Lyle Lovett

Oh, the nighttime air was fairly breezin′
Well, it was cold but not quite freezin'
So I looked around to find my trousers
And this voice inside my head grew louder

Pants is overrated
Pants is overrated
Pants is overrated
Yes, yes

Pants is overrated
Pants is overrated
Pants is overrated
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes

I′d have never made it out that window (out the window)
If I'd even put just one leg in though
But as it was the circumstance
I gladly lost my favorite pants


Pants is overrated
Pants is overrated
Pants is overrated
Yes, yes

Pants is overrated
Pants is overrated
Pants is overrated
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes

My people from across the pond
They hail from Scotland and beyond (hey, yeah, yeah, hey)
Where sheep make wool for socks and shirts
And grown men run around in skirts

Pants is overrated
Pants is overrated
Pants is overrated
Yes, yes

Pants is overrated
Pants is overrated
Pants is overrated
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes


See the little sheepies big and fat
Standing on the hillside
Standing in the meadow
See the little sheepies big and fat
They're making me a sweater
They′re making me a hat

Lord Jesus knew just what to wear (oh, yes, he did, yes, he did)
Oh, to live a life in desert air (ooh)
He walked the earth in poor man′s shoes
And sang this ninth beatitude

Pants is overrated
Pants is overrated
Pants is overrated
Yes, yes

Pants is overrated
Pants is overrated
Pants is overrated
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes

And now as I sit here in my jeans
I think about what this all means
And children come into this world
Without a stitch on boy or girl

Pants is overrated
Pants is overrated
Pants is overrated
Yes, yes

Pants is overrated
Pants is overrated
Pants is overrated
Yes, yes

Pants is overrated
Pants is overrated
Pants is overrated
Yes, yes

Pants is overrated
Pants is overrated
Pants is overrated
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes
