guess who junked their slacks to stay
those slim thighed boys threw 'em all away
times have changed...its the style today
but man...i just think them guys are crazy

they like afghans, for layin' around
skirt and blouse, if they can be found
they don't have to pull no pants down
i would have to call that, lazy

the boys are back in gowns...(the boys are back in gowns)
the boys are back in gowns...(the boys are back in gowns)

you know...once, guys were wearin' pants a lot
every night, in jeans or cords...hidin' what they got
man...now they say its so cool just to hang out
i mean...they are danglin'
it was all over, in johnny's case
when his pants hiked up, and it looked out of place
now...a dress that's trimmed in lace
and if his stuff is gonna show...he'll let it

the boys are back in gowns...(the boys are back in gowns)
the boys are back in gowns...(the boys are back in gowns)

wrap that skirt around...guess who's back in gowns
you wrap that skirt around

friday night, i went out with bill
in a dress, he swiped from jill
to wear it short, it takes much skill
and if the boy bends just right, its so upsettin'
there's some boy in the corner, comin' out his red sarong
the weather's gettin' warmer...and it won't be long
won't be long...till the pants get dumped
then all the boys dress weird again

the boys are back in gowns...(the boys are back in gowns)
the boys are back in gowns...(the boys are back in gowns)
