Mr. Fancy Pants

(Hey Mr. Fancy Pants!)
Chances are your pants are not as fancy as the pair
of very fancy pants that Mr. Fancy pants would wear
when everyone is marching in the Fancy Pants parade,
He's gonna pass the test, he's gonna be the best,
the best in terms of pants.
You look in every catalog, you shop in every store
Cause even though you have a hundred pants, you want some more
And suddenly you see the greatest pants you've ever seen!
And even though you know
it's gonna cost a lot of dough,
you have to have the world's best pants!
Say a little prayer for Mr. Fancy Pants
The whole world knows it's only clothes
And deep inside, he's sad...
(Hey Mr. Fancy Pants!)
They make the big announcement and the trophy goes to you
You thought you had some fancy pants, and now you know it's true
You look at Mr. Fancy Pants and hold your trophy high,
Everybody cheers while he's blinking back the tears,
He doesn't even have the best pants.
Say a little prayer for Mr. Fancy Pants
It's all he had but don't feel bad:
he'd do the same to you...
