The Underwear Song

A chance visit to the Thrift Store in Montague, PEI lead to a fortuitous find: Brand new, still in the package, grey 5X men’s briefs. Songs come from the oddest places. I couldn’t help but be inspired to write one of the few songs I get regular requests for. The grand finale to this song is to get two kids up out of the audience, then have each one gets in a leg hole of the giant underwear. Linking arms, they lead an underwear parade with other kids marching behind them singing. The biggest stage in the world couldn’t be that much fun.

The Underwear Song

Chorus: Underwear, underwear This is a song about underwear They say you can’t sing it but I don’t care Everybody’s wearing their underwear Everybody’s wearing their underwear

Boys and girls Big and small Mommy’s and daddy’s Oh so tall Gramp’s and grannies This we share Everybody’s wearing their underwear

Chorus:

I asked my neighbor Are you rich or poor? He said it doesn’t matter When you’re in your drawers Underneath all those fancy clothes There’s nothing but shorts And pantyhose

Chorus:

I see a little guy over there Sitting right up On his potty chair Hey, throw away your diaper Take a little chance Pull up your big boy underpants

Chorus:

Obstetricians and morticians Rumour has it Politicians I can guarantee musicians Everybody’s wearing their underwear

Chorus:
