It's timeless question, a perennial puzzle, and an existential dilemma.
lyrics
Yesterday I wore a pair of pants (pants pants)
In the pocket of those pants there were some keys (keys keys)
I need those keys to get me out the door (door door)
Get out the door, I need those keys, where are my pants?
If I can't get out the door I'll miss the bus (bus bus)
If I miss the bus then I'll be late to class
If I'm late then I will surely fail the test
I'll fail the test, be late to class, I'll miss the bus, get out the door, I need those keys! Where are my pants?
If I fail then they won't let me graduate (-ate -ate)
If I do not graduate can't get a job
And without a job I'll have to move back home
I'll move back home, can't get a job, won't graduate, I'll fail the test, be late to class, I'll miss the bus, get out the door, I need those keys! Where are my pants?
If I move back home then I will need some keys (keys keys)
Wait! Did I say something about KEYS?
I'll need some keys, I'll move back home, can't get a job, won't graduate, I'll fail the test, be late to class, I'll miss the bus, get out the door, I need those keys! (I really really really need those keys!) Where are my pants?
