Belt

I’ve got nothing to hold up my pants with
Where’s my belt?
Where’s my belt?
I’ll have no one to go the dance with
Unless I’m finished
Unless I’m svelte

Is it under a sock, over here in the drawer?
Or rolled right up under my nose?
Maybe I left it on yesterday’s corduroys
Or there at the foot of my heap of clothes

Well I’m taking an awful big chance here
Where’s my belt?
Where’s my belt?
Stuck in an uncomfortable stance here
If you only knew how it felt

A wallet and keys bring ’em down to their knees
60 cents and they’re all the way off
I could tuck in the tails just to take up the slack
But the overshirt look is the only option I've got

I’ve got to find that piece of leather
I’ve got to pull this outfit together
It’s gotta be here somewhere
Yes it’s gotta be here somewhere

I’m exhausted
I’m exhausted
I’m exhausted

I’ve exhausted now every location
Where’s my belt?
Where’s my belt?
It has taken a trouser vacation
(And now all my hope)
What a hand my lower half has been dealt
(is beginning to melt
away)

How I long for the days when suspenders were cool
How they held you up right from the heavens
But the very last time that they were in vogue
Was around ‘88, ‘87

I’ve got to find that piece of leather
I’ve got to pull this outfit together

It’s gotta be here somewhere
Yes it’s gotta be here somewhere

I’ve got nothing to hold up my pants with
Where’s my belt?
Where’s my...
