The Coat And The Pants Do All The Work Lyrics

The Coat And The Pants Do All The Work lyrics

Now we never give the credit 

Where credit's really due, 

You've
heard that many times before, 

It's really nothing new; 

The man
who works the hardest, 

He never gets the dough, 

And here's
another little thing 

I'm positive you know: 



Oh, the coat
and the pants do all of the work, 

And the vest gets all the gravy; 

Now, the captains get the bars, 

The generals get the stars, 

The soldiers do the fighting, 

And all they get is scars. 

Now,
a baby cries for mama, 

But he never even recognizes dad, 

Oh, the
coat and the pants do all of the work, 

And the vest gets all the gravy!




Oh, the coat and the pants do all of the work, 

And the
vest gets all the gravy; 

Now, a dairy maid's a wow, 

She does her
best, somehow, 

But after all the cheering, 

You can't forget the
cow! 

Now an onion breaks a friendship, 

But a billy goat can drive
a crowd away...
