Pants

On the day before my wedding
Just a few short years ago
My dad sat down and told me, "Son
There's some things you've got to know
I'm gonna tell you a little story
All about my wedding night
If you'll handle things the way I did
Everything'll turn out right

"Now, your Mom and I went to our suite
And when the luggage boy had gone
I handed her my pants
And I said, "Honey, try these on!"
And she tried, but said, "I can't wear these"
I said, "You've got that right!
I wear the pants and don't forget
What you've just learned tonight"

So, I took my dad's advice
And did just like hе said to do
But then my wife gave mе her pants
And said, "Now you try, too!"
I said, "I can't get into these!"
She said, "You've got that right!"
And you never will get in my pants
'Til you learn to treat me right!"

Now my mind's not lightnin' fast
But all at once I had a hunch
That in this partic'lar area
Dad might be out to lunch
So, I told my wife, "I've been set up
I was blind but now I see
And if nobody wears the pants
That'll be just fine with me!"

Well, Dad's got an apartment now
I guess Mom had enough
After all those years of knucklin' down
She finally called his bluff
But as for us, we're really happy, though
'Cause we don't play those games
I love my wife and she loves me
'Cause we both love the same
I love my wife and she loves me
And we both love the same
