A song inspired, Newman said, by “these big heavy pretentious rock ‘n’ roll acts like Kansas or Styx. I saw some big rock shows, in a baseball arena, which I’d never seen before, and I couldn’t believe what an impersonal thing it was. This kind of false sexual innuendo, you know, ‘I’m gonna take off...
Gonna take off my pants
Gonna take off my pants
Gonna take off my pants
Gonna take off my pants
And your mama can't stop me
And your papa can't stop me
And the police can't stop me
No one can stop me
Gonna do it right now
Gonna do it right now
I'm gonna take off my pants
Gonna take off my pants
And your teachers can't stop me
And your priests can't stop me
And your firemen can't stop me
And the president can't stop me
Will you take off my pants?
Will you take off my pants?
