Lots of songs about blue jeans in the '60s and '70s. This one is my favorite because of the "tiger in my tank" line. Is he talking about Esso gas or his heart? Big hit in '76.



Jeans On
David Dundas & Roger Greenaway

When I wake up in the morning light
I pull on my jeans and I feel all right
I pull my blue jeans on, I pull my old blue jeans on 
I pull my blue jeans on, I pull my old blue jeans on 

It's the weekend, and I know that you're free
So pull on your jeans and come on out with me
I need to have you near me, I need to feel you close to me 
I need to have you near me, I need to feel you close to me 

You and me, we'll go motorbike riding in the sun and the wind and the rain
I got money in my pocket, got a tiger in my tank
And I'm king of the road again

I'll meet ya in the usual place
I don't need a thing, except your pretty face
And I need to have you near me, I need to feel you close to me 
I need to have you near me, I need to feel you close to me 
I need to have you near me, I need to feel you close to me 

You and me, we'll go motorbike riding in the sun and the wind and the rain
I got money in my pocket, a tiger in my tank
And I'm king of the road again

When I wake up in the morning light
I pull on my jeans and I feel all right
I pull my blue jeans on, I pull my old blue jeans on 
I pull my blue jeans on, I pull my old blue jeans on 
I pull my blue jeans on, I pull my old blue jeans on 


Yep......
“Beware of all enterprises that require new clothes.” 
Thoreau
