IT’S GOTTA BE THE PANTS

I’m wearing pants passed down from Dad.
They’re itchy, pinchy, wool, and plaid,
I put them on and I’m sure glad—
It’s gotta be the pants.

Though I was late, I caught the bus
and Suzy Ray made such a fuss.
She said, “Come back and sit with us?”
It’s gotta be the pants!

It’s gotta be the pants,
gotta be the mighty magic pants.
How else can you explain this magic day?
I feel like I could dance,
in my might, magic pants,
I’ll never take them off again—no way!
It’s gotta be the pants

Ms. P picked me to read aloud
my little rhyme about a cloud.
And afterwards, she looked so proud!
It’s gotta be the pants.

At lunch the caf served something grey
which looked like roadkill—that’s okay
because I sat by Suzy Ray.
It’s gotta be the pants.

It’s gotta be the pants,
gotta be the mighty magic pants,
they may not fit the latest style or fad.
My troubles have no chance—
not when I’ve got magic pants.
You won’t believe the magic day I’ve had—
It’s gotta be the pants.

I played my clarinet in band,
then afterwards, I got to stand
by Suzy Ray who held my hand.
It’s gotta be the pants.

They’re itchy, pinchy, plaid, and wool,
but I’m convinced they’re magical.
They may not be too comfortable,
but man I love these pants!

It’s gotta be the pants,
gotta be these mighty magic pants,
How else can you explain this magic day?
I feel like I could dance,
in my mighty, magic pants,
I’ll never take them off again—no way!
It’s gotta be the pants!
