Chances are your pants are not as fancy as the pair
   F#m                       B
Of very fancy pants that Mr. Fancy Pants will wear
     E                                 E/D     C#7
When everybody’s marching in the fancy pants parade

The best in terms of pants

You look in every catalog you shop at every store

Cause even though you have a hundred pants you want some more

When suddenly you see the greatest pants you’ve ever seen
    F#m             B
And even though you know
           F#m           B
It’s gonna cost a lot of dough
    F#m              B            E    B7 E
You have to have the world’s best pants
