The world gets lost, the world gets wise
So dot your Ts, and cross your Is, my dear
And it's a golden opportunity
To take a stand and claim immunity
Against the threat of more community service
And you would think that they'd catch on to us
The odds are stacked and vaguely nocuous
Together we will make the octopus nervous
We don't have guns, we don't have knives
But we've been waiting all our lives
And wait until the day arrives, we will
We don't pretend we're fighting crime
We see the world in lemon lime
The only casualty's the time we kill
But still, a lot of things are problematical
There is an urge to wax fanatical
But we will not fall prey to radicalism
Well never mind, ‘cause here's another thing
You won't believe what we're discovering
And you can see it through the hovering prism
This is the fancy pants manifesto
This is the fancy pants manifesto
This is the fancy pants manifesto
And now you know
This is the fancy pants manifesto
This is the fancy pants manifesto
This is the fancy pants manifesto
And now you know</nowiki>

Fancy Pants Manifesto is the 9th track on Hip to the Javabean. It features lyrics that are likely simple nonsense, but could be interpreted as an endorsement of silly and carefree behavior.

Lyrics

(Sausages are good
 Sausages are good
 We are all sausages.)
 
 (One, two, three, four
 One, two, three, four.)
 
 Is this my chance, for goodness sake
 To make the point I've tried to make
 For all my lifetime, give or take a year?
 And now it comes as no surprise:
 The world gets lost, the world gets wise
 So dot your Ts, and cross your Is, my dear
 
 And it's a golden opportunity
 To take a stand and claim immunity
 Against the threat of more community service
 And you would think that they'd catch on to us
 The odds are stacked and vaguely nocuous
 Together we will make the octopus nervous
 
 We don't have guns, we don't have knives
 But we've been waiting all our lives
 And wait until the day arrives, we will
 We don't pretend we're fighting crime
 We see the world in lemon lime
 The only casualty's the time we kill
 
 But still, a lot of things are problematical
 There is an urge to wax fanatical
 But we will not fall prey to radicalism
 Well never mind, ‘cause here's another thing
 You won't believe what we're discovering
 And you can see it through the hovering prism
 
 This is the fancy pants manifesto
 This is the fancy pants manifesto
 This is the fancy pants manifesto
 And now you know
 
 This is the fancy pants manifesto
 This is the fancy pants manifesto
 This is the fancy pants manifesto
 And now you know
