TAKE A PANTS

Sometimes the strangest thoughts will just pop into my mind. A few weeks ago, because of holidays, meeting and a few other issues, I had to spend a day in the office all alone, and for some strange reason this tune kept running around my head and I kept composing strange, “alternative” lyrics to it.

The tune was “Take a chance on me” and the bizarre new lyrics that kept running around my head were as shown below.

And, before you ask, NO I did NOT take the opportunity to try out what the lyrics were suggesting.

I did wonder, briefly, whether I could write a complete “alternative” take on the whole song, but decided that that was a stupid idea, so, for what it’s worth, here’s that partial rewrite, as far as I got.

If you feel that you’d like to add a line or two, please do, and if you suddenly feel the urge to make a video, well, let’s just say that I await your “YouTube” performances of it with interest…

In case you were wondering...
Different office, different day...

If you’re all alone, in an office by the phone

Where no-one could see

Could you work pants-free?

If you need to just cool off, with no-one around

If there’s no-one else to see, you could take ’em down,

If you’re all alone, and the blinds are down.

Could your really dare?

To work legs bare?

Take your trousers off, and sit right there

Doing all your work, in your underwear?

Could you work pants-free?

(It’s not that anyone would see)

Try and work pants-free!

People take vacations, leave you on your own, with nobody to talk to,

But with no-one watching, you can take your strides off, throw them ’cross the room.

You see no-one can see

If you’re sitting there pants-free, ???

It’s airy!

It’s something you can do, when there’s no-one there with you.

But I think you know,

You can’t let pants go.

If you change your mind, and you close those blinds

So no-one could see

That you are pants-free.

etc., etc., etc.
