And my little bum felt all trapped inside
G            A
There's Levis all around

Well my jeans they are a frayin'
And don't say Levi's because I've tried 'em
My hips they had no room to play in
My little bum felt trapped inside 'em
There's Levis all around
If there was Wranglers I would know
I'd turn the whole store upside down
And they don't got Wranglers so let's go
I said my jeans they are a frayin'
I said my jeans they are a frayin' so bad

Yeah, Uh oh, what are they saying?

Hips had no room to play in

Lyrics

My jeans they are a frayin'
But don't talk Levi's because I've tried 'em
[Yeah they're ok for some people, they just don't fit my particular,
Especially them blue jeans, I just can't wear them
Their corduroy pants?
I can wear Levi's corduroy pants but it's those uh them ??? jeans, I can't wear them]
My hips had no room to play in
My little bum felt all trapped inside 'em
There's Levis all around
If there was Wranglers I would know
I'd turn the whole store upside down
And they don't got Wranglers so let's go
My jeans they are a frayin'
Oh my jeans they are a frayin' real bad

All right

Oh my jeans they are a frayin' very bad

This store's got Wranglers in it
Even got size 31
28 bucks- now just wait a minute
But these old jeans they're almost done
My jeans they're nearly rags
My jeans they're nearly dead
And they've lost their little Wrangler tag
And you can see my knees right through the threads
My jeans they're a frayin' (we're warming up now)
My jeans they are a frayin', real bad

Modern lovers gonna tell the sad part

My jeans are a frayin' so bad, yeah, so bad, all right
My jeans are a frayin' so bad, wonderful, so bad
My jeans, My jeans
My jeans

[How ya doing?
We got lots more but we don't want to bore you
You want more?
That's all I wanted to know
We got lots]

[???]

Well
Well my jeans they are a frayin'
And don't talk Levi's because I've tried
My hips, for example, they had no room to play in
My little bum felt all trapped inside them
There's Levis all around
If there was Wranglers I would know
I'd turn the whole store upside down
And they don't got Wranglers so let's go
My jeans they are a frayin'
My jeans they are a frayin' very bad

Why not Levis?
Why not Levis?
Cause they never seem to fit me
No matter what the size
Why not Levis?
Why not Levis?
Well the bum never fits, nor the hips nor the thighs
I said my jeans they are a frayin'
Oh my jeans they are a frayin' very bad
