This will furnish pants so well
nothing ever makes them smell,
being woven immaterial;
they're pretty fireproof, by hell!

Nothing ever makes them smell,
that clever, conning tailor wove.
They're pretty fireproof, by hell,
if ever push came close to shove.

That clever, conning tailor wove
the warp and weft from empty air;
if ever push came close to shove
his treasure's always so threadbare.

The warp and weft from empty air
make such a fine and dashing cloth;
his treasures always so threadbare
a sparrow could have pulled 'em off.

Make such a fine and dashing cloth;
this will furnish pants so well;
a sparrow could have pulled 'em off,
being woven immaterial.

The Pantless is a form of rhetoric similar to the Brexit in vapidity.
