http://www.soundclick.com/bands/0/calvinstewartLederhosen © words and music by C. Stewart ( May 10, 2015 )
Well the flap on my old lederhosen's Always falling down I guess that's why my preachers face has turned Into a frown
And the pockets on my lederhosen's Holier than me I'm looking for an angel that'll Sew em up for free
CHORUS..... My legs are kinda skinny I'm not a muscle man But if she likes my lederhosen I might be her man
I'll be decked out in my lederhosen Going on a date Greta likes the leather ones and tells me They look great
In the winter time my legs get frozen Snow is all around But summer's here in ten more months then Flowers paint the ground
CHORUS..... My legs are kinda skinny But that's just who I am And Greta likes my lederhosen And now I'm Greta's man
Greta knows a good leg when she sees one
CHORUS..... My legs are kinda skinny Well that's just who I am But Greta likes my lederhosen And now I'm her man

Really digging the guitar here, Calvin. There's something very cool about the way you break into the 2nd verse. Don't know if it's the guitar or the verse, "I'll be decked out in my lederhosen Going on a date", it just works...... very well.

Calvin, this made me laugh out loud, partly because it was just funny, but also because I kept trying to picture you in a pair of lederhosen. Ricki

Hi Calvin,
Just brilliant, as usual. As love songs go, this is one of the more offbeat ones I've heard in awhile. You've got a nice bluesy feel going on here. Love it.

Hey Calvin,
I think Mike made a good point about your songs taking on a bluesy vibe. I think you ought to focus a bit more in that direction. This was real cool!

Hi Calvin,
IMO you've got 2 stories. One about the religious aspect and one about the relationship w/ Greta. IMO both stories don't work. IMO you should just do the story about Greta. It's still pretty weird/kinky/Calin-esque to still appeal to you maybe? Anyway, I think you could have a REALLY cool song if you told one story instead of two.
PS - I was just listening to 'dreaming' and thought of you and decided to check out what you're doing. This is a really cool lyric IMO.
I'll be decked out in my lederhosen Going on a date Greta likes the leather ones and tells me They look great
CHORUS..... My legs are kinda skinny I'm not a muscle man But if she likes my lederhosen I might be her man
In the winter time my legs get frozen Snow is all around But summer's here in ten more months then Flowers paint the ground
CHORUS..... My legs are kinda skinny But that's just who I am And Greta likes my lederhosen And now I'm Greta's man
Greta knows a good leg when she sees one
CHORUS..... My legs are kinda skinny Well that's just who I am But Greta likes my lederhosen And now I'm her man
