The Lyrics
Just had a suit made for my sister's wedding. (She doesn't write parodies, in fact, I'm not sure I've ever told her that I do.) That made me think of "Sam, You Made the Pants Too Long," written by the legendary comic Joe E. Lewis (1902-1971 - you may have seen Frank Sinatra play him in "The Joker Is Wild") and memorably covered by Barbra Streisand.
O, little tailor, fix the hem.
How tall the pants, so high.
Above my shoes, gives me the blues.
That's not what I should buy.
The pinstripes laid in shineth.
Material feels light.
But in this world too soon the girls
will see my socks tonight.
How tall the pants, so high.
Above my shoes, gives me the blues.
That's not what I should buy.
The pinstripes laid in shineth.
Material feels light.
But in this world too soon the girls
will see my socks tonight.

Oh oh oh...yes, get them fixed, Mr. Pacholek...and if you can't...please promise me that you won't be wearing white socks...hehehe...=)
You're supposed to wear socks?
i like it...5s
There should be an extra pair-ody to go with this...fivies
Yes, Rex, you're supposed to wear socks! And not white socks like Cliff Clavin! Just don't make love with your socks on. Women hate that.
Tailor-made but very short 5's
I have too agree with Tim, Mike: your pants are far too short. 555
