Chances are your pants are not as fancy as the pair
F#m B
Of very fancy pants that Mr. Fancy Pants will wear
E E/D C#7
When everybody’s marching in the fancy pants parade
F#m B
He’s gonna pass the test
F#m B
He’s gonna be the best
F#m B E B7 E
The best in terms of pants
You look in every catalog you shop at every store
F#m B
Cause even though you have a hundred pants you want some more
E E/D C#7
When suddenly you see the greatest pants you’ve ever seen
F#m B
And even though you know
F#m B
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

It’s only clothes

And deep inside
Esus4/B B7
He’s sad

They make the big announcement and the trophy goes to you
F#m B
You thought you had some fancy pants and now you know it’s true
E E/D C#7
You look at Mr. Fancy Pants and hold the trophy high
F#m B
Everybody cheers
F#m B
While he’s blinking back the tears
F#m B E B7 E
He doesn’t even have the best pants
A Bdim/A A Bdim/A
Say a little prayer for Mr. Fancy Pants

It’s all he had
Dm(maj7) Dm6
But don’t feel bad

He’d do the same
