I'm the one I'm the one who knows the dance  
I'm the one I'm the one who's got the prance  
I'm the one I'm the one who wears the pants  
I wear the pants  
 
I'm the one who tells you what to do  
You're the one you're the one if I let you  
 
I'm the one I'm the one who wears the pants  
I wear the pants
