Lyrics

Can I tell you a romantic story
About the one-eyed lady in France
I guess the king decreed that all the various princes
Should try to get inside her pants
So along came a Saint Paul dandy
He was six-and-a-half feet tall
He said "All the little ladies love roses"
She took the roses and that was all
The next man for the one-eyed lady
Was my dignified brother Dan
He said "Bring the little woman some kisses and attention"
She wouldn't even shake his hand
Then I moved into the picture
I was wearing these magic pants
I said "Let the blind bottom of my body do the talking"
She fell into a magic trance
I wore the pants
I said relax
We did a dance
They call the slacks
Let me tell you the truth of the story
It was me moving in those pants Huh?
Matt said "The way to her heart is through her tummy" What?
And then he took her out to restaurants! John, that's a lie!
No!
Could you both turn down the distortion
Cause you know I wore the pants
You were both laid out on the floor with no protection
In a deep dark watery trance
News to me!
I wore the pants
I said relax
We did a dance
They call the slacks
I wore the pants
I said relax
We did a dance
They call the slacks
I wore the pants!
Oh, my friend John (You wore the pants? I wore the pants!)
I wore the slacks, I did a dance
As I recall it Dan, you were on the floor and I was picking up the pants and pulling them onto my long, slender legs (Cut me some slack, man!) (Listen, let go of my leg. Those are my pants!)
I wore the pants, I said relax, I did the dance (I heed) (I said relax, I did a dance)
I wore the pants
I said relax
We did a dance
They call the slacks
We did a dance
They call the slacks
