From the recording The End Of The Alphabet
Lyrics
Woke up this morning
I didn't know what to where
Then I =saw the pants
Laying on the chair
They were perfectly folded
They had pleats in, too
It looked like my wife had ironed them
And yeah, it was true
Khaki pants
Khaki pants
Khaki pants
Khaki pants
I said look at these things
They go so well with my brown shirt
They go nice with my brown shoes as well
But I could wear things things also
with blue or with black
Wjhere ever these pants came from
They ain't going back
Khaki Pants
Khaki pants
Khaki pants
Khaki pants
Pull them up
Pull them up
Pull them up
Pull them up
Now the word Khaki
is spelled k h a k i
and the term kahaki was coined in British India
The British got it from the Hindustani language
Which , in turn, had borrowed it from the Persian word "Khak" which means dust
Khaki Pants
Khaki Pants
Khaki Pants
Khaki Pants
I said look at these things
They go so well with my brown shirt
They go nice with my brown shoes as well
Oh I've always wanted
A pair of khaki pants
I can't believe I'm gunna wear these things today
Khaki Pants
Khaki Pants
Khaki Pants
Khaki Pants
