乡村民谣:John Grant - Snug Slacks

[Verse 1]
It is difficult for you to be so beautiful
Or do you find the advantages tend to outweigh¹ the disadvantages?
Am I rude?
I'm sorry, I've never had the appropriate attitude
Do you think that life is easier when looks as good as you do
Or do people always say that you're a narcissist²
Do they ingratiate themselves to you and act all obsequious³?
Come on now baby, you can tell it's just between the two of us

[Chorus]
Snug⁴ slacks baby snug slacks
Now you're giving me a different kind of panic attack
Sick joke, baby crack smoke, now take me out in your pick up for a midnight poke⁵
I said Stonehenge baby drug binge
Now you got me all damp down in my underpants
Snug slacks baby snug slacks
Now let's get you out of those and see what kind of punch your manhood packs
[Verse 2]
You know it takes an ass⁶ like yours to make it possible for me
To have developed such a very high tolerance⁷ for inappropriate behaviour
I mean I can take it or leave it, I don't need it
And I hope I haven't spoken out of turn
But if you'd be so kind I could use some help with my thesis on carpet burn
By the way I got tickets for us to see Joan Baez tonight
Oh? I guess I misunderstood, I never heard of Joan as policewoman
But I do love me some Angie Dickinson
Let's be clear, Joan Baez makes GG Allin look like Charlene Tilton

[Chorus]
Snug slacks baby snug slacks
Now you're giving me a different kind of panic attack
Sick joke, baby crack smoke, now take me out in your pick up for a midnight poke
I said Stonehenge baby drug binge
Now you got me all damp down in my underpants
Snug slacks baby snug slacks
Now let's get you out of those and see what kind of punch your manhood packs
