Mr Garlato's Shorts Lyrics
My father wears these fluoro shorts, it’s so embarrassing to me
My father wears these fluoro shorts, they’re green as green can be
Why can’t he wear those khaki ones that other fathers wear?
Why does he have to look so strange? It’s more than I can bear!
My father bought these fluoro shorts, size 10 just right for me
My father bought these fluoro shorts, they fit as you can see
And when we both prowl down the street my Dad I’m proud to know
And now we’ll look for orange ones, I’m sure they’re all the go
My father wears these fluoro shorts, they’re cool as cool can be
My father wears these fluoro shorts and that’s OK with me
