1 leg, 2 legs
that’s the way the trouser works
1 leg, 2 legs
that’s the way the trouser works

do you know, do you know
who invented the trouser
do you know, do you know
who invented the trouser
it was invented by jack trouser in 1751
it was invented by jack trouser in 1751
before that they just called the trouser pants
before that they just called the trouser pants

1 leg, 2 legs
that’s the way the trouser works
1 leg, 2 legs
that’s the way the trouser works

do you know, do you know
who invented the trouser
do you know, do you know
who invented the trouser
it was invented by jack trouser in 1751
it was invented by jack trouser in 1751
before that they just called the trouser pants
before that they just called the trouser pants
whistle

1 leg, 2 legs
that’s the way the trouser works
1 leg, 2 legs
that’s the way the trouser works
