D-DU-UDU
Chances  are your pants are not as fancy as the pair
 Of very  fancy pants that Mr. Fancy  Pants will wear
 When everybody’s  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 at every store
 Cause even  though you have a hundred pants  you want some more
 When 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
 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 the 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
