Johnny came from England
Jackie came from France
They went to see a wise man
About a pair of pants.
One said, 'They're too long.'
One said, 'They're too little.'
The wise man took the pair of pants
And ripped them up the middle.
Now each has got a pant-leg.
Each is freezing, too.
And yet it seemed the only thing
That anyone could do.
