Putting Pants on One Leg at a Time

It's tired to lay that tired old expression to rest.

He Puts His Pants on One Leg at a Time

 

By Elton Camp

 

This is a flip expression that I’ve always hated

For to demean somebody’s success it is related

 

This bit of conventional wisdom is made known

Often about the president or a king on his throne

 

But for any ridiculers, I have a starling bit of news

Pants can go on two legs at the time if you choose

 

In my case, since first wearing pants I did begin

I stand them up and with both legs jump right in

 

Or flat on the floor a fellow could decide to lie

Raise legs, pull pants on both he could easily try

 

So you mockers, why not lay this old saying to rest

Men can put on their pants in the way they see best
