Sam, You Made The Pants Too Long

Barbara Streisand

Trousers dragging, slowly dragging through the street


Yes! I'm walking, but I'm walking without feet!


I'm not finding fault at all


You're too big and I'm too small


But Sam, you promised me both ends would meet





You made the coat and vest fit the best


You made the lining nice and strong


But Sam, you made the pants too long





You made the peak lapel look so swell


So who am I to say you're wrong?


But Sam, you made the pants too long





They got a belt and they got suspenders


So what can they lose?


But what good are belts and suspenders


When the pants are hanging over the shoes





You feel a winter breeze up and down the knees


The belt is where the tie belongs


'Cause Sam, Sam, Sam you made the pants too long!
