When you're alone and there's a crowd all around you And you need a friend Down trou! Stand on a table with your pants at your ankles And you'll start a trend Down trou! Your loneliness will vanish in a flood of fellow feeling And all around the bar room you will see the boys all peeling Inhibitions laid bare - Somehow all your cares will go This is the way to meet people that you didn't know, when you Down trou! Things will be great when you Down trou! Shock all the natives and Down trou! You'll perform better that way! Gimme a dare, just say the word and I'm there; It's all such evil fun: Down trou! I can't stand still, and I just can't wait until We get our belts undone: Down trou! Oh, why do they condemn it in the older generation? It's just as though they're suffering from moral constipation - Man, it's no sin Things swing as our pants reach our knees With our bare legs hanging out just enjoying the breeze as we Down trou! Pub's closing, let 'er rip Down trou! Six o'clock sunset strip Down trou! Fresh air is good for your skin Stop feeling shy, your inhibitions will fly When you undo your belt Down trou! Even if you first need a flagon or two To make your presence felt Down trou! And once you've made the opening all the others will be starting Forget about the Charlies who in horror are departing How can you refuse? You just have to heed the call And drop your tweeds to your ankles, stand backs to the wall and cry: Down trou! Take up the call and cry Down trou! Undo your belt and fly Down trou! . . . But pull them back on when you leave. Things swing as our pants reach our knees With our bare legs hanging out just enjoying the breeze as we Down trou! Pub's closing, let 'er rip Down trou! Six o'clock sunset strip Down trou! . . . But pull them back on when you leave.Here is a verse of Scourer from Mataura
We don't wear tuxedos in Mataura
