Pants Lyrics
Gonna take off my pants Gonna take off my pants Gonna take off my pants Gonna take off my pants And your mama can't stop me And your papa can't stop me And the police can't stop me No one can stop me Gonna do it right now Gonna do it right now I'm gonna take off my pants Gonna take off my pants And your teachers can't stop me And your priests can't stop me And your firemen can't stop me And the President can't stop me Will you take off my pants? Will you take off my pants?

this man truely loved to take of his pants
Born Again was the album where Newman’s targets became more skewed and his lyrics became far nastier and darker. Pants is yet another of the songwriter’s portraits of a deviant loner battling society, and is very similar to Naked Man from Good Old Boys in terms of subject matter. Yet whereas that song was clever and well-constructed, Pants is simply crass and played for laughs, but that doesn’t stop it from being a great song. The line where he pathetically poses the question “Will you take off my pants?” is one of the funniest moments in his entire catalogue. Why didn’t Joe Cocker cover this one?
@imperial.bedroom the thing with Naked Mad is that it was part of a bigger story. which was the rest of the Good Old Boys album. There is no way you would normally know that in 2007 I think.. I recently bought the Good Old Boys reissue with Randy telling the story what some of these gems we have known for decades and how he originally envisioned the story. He just simply rules.
