Bermuda Shorts, also known as walking shorts or dress shorts, are a particular type of short trousers, now widely worn as semi-casual attire by both men and women. The hem can be cuffed or un-cuffed, around one inch above the knee.
They are so-named because of their popularity in Bermuda, a British Overseas Territory, where they are considered appropriate business attire for men when made of suit-like material and worn with knee-length socks, a dress shirt, tie, and blazer. In addition, many businesses in the West that have a business casual policy similarly allow this kind of clothing in appropriate weather.[citation needed] They are available in a variety of colours, including many pastel shades as well as darker shades.
True Bermuda shorts are not to be confused with "clam diggers" or "capri pants" extending below the knee. Cargo shorts may be a similar length, but are typically baggy or less "tailored" than Bermuda shorts.[citation needed]
Bermuda ( /bɜrˈmjuːdə/), officially the Bermudas or Somers Islands, is a British overseas territory in the North Atlantic Ocean. Located off the east coast of the United States, its nearest landmass is Cape Hatteras, North Carolina, about 1,030 kilometres (640 mi) to the west-northwest. It is about 1,373 kilometres (853 mi) south of Halifax, Nova Scotia and 1,770 kilometres (1,100 mi) northeast of Miami, Florida, USA. Its capital city is Hamilton.
Bermuda was discovered in 1505 by Spanish sea captain Juan de Bermúdez, after whom the islands are named. Apparently uninhabited, he claimed them for the Spanish Empire. Although he paid two visits to the archipelago, Bermúdez was persuaded never to set foot on any of the islands by the dangerous reef surrounding them. Subsequent Spanish or other visitors are believed to have released the feral pigs that were abundant on the island when settlement began. In 1609, the Virginia Company, which had established Virginia and Jamestown on the American continent two years earlier, established a settlement on behalf of the English colonial empire. Initially, it was administered as an extension of Virginia by the Company until 1614, before its successor, the Somers Isles Company, took over until 1684. Bermuda then became a British colony following the 1707 unification of the Kingdom of England with the Kingdom of Scotland to create the unified Kingdom of Great Britain. After Newfoundland became part of Canada in 1949, Bermuda became the oldest (and, since the return of Hong Kong to China in 1997, the most populous) remaining British overseas territory. Its first capital, St George's, was established in 1612 and is the oldest continuously-inhabited English town in the Americas.

chorus:
i never quit and i was never fired,
i made it my goal to be officially retired.
forget freedom 55 i am free at 23.
divorced from the workforce i am i be.
long to the throngs that live along the east van
and i plan to live a long life of vice, strife free.
i’m always putting in work but i don’t got a job,
and i ain’t looking, i ain’t trying to be nobody’s
hooker
just chilling in a rocker feeling lots of hot flashes
the sum of my life, soul claps and cymbal crashes.
i look a little young to be old fashioned and so
dashing,
forget the cigarette, post-sex i need more action
i take naps and try to cash in on the system,
it's not like leaching when it's supplying the teaching
and when i uprock the girls flock and i take them to
the sock hop
where they all sit around and watch me rock the
foxtrot.
nice to know you here to show you you can do it too.
send a self addressed six pack care of you know who
i’ve got to pull my pants up my belly button’s showing
lint is growing flowing blood is slowing down. bones
are creaking.
and i ain’t got teeth and i can’t speak my vowels.
i take all these pills to take control of my bowels
yo. you got some shit to say, i got shit in my pants.
and i’m deaf anyway with advanced arthritis.
and a big ol nose and wrinkles and gingivitis,
and these kids yell shit all night just to spite us
don't make an old man go and get his shoes on.
then drool on a futon. put my teeth in get my booze on.
i’m old and i stink but i do what i wanna,
sitting in my rocking chair with bag of chips and
marijuana.
a mug of full whiskey as i watch the sun set,
knowing life is for the living and i ain’t done yet.
chorus
there's little i can do there's even less i wanna show
i use vague cryptic statements when the weed starts to
slow
the brain and drain the need to socialize and stabilize
and localize
the vocals come from hopeful eyes their focal points
the open skies.
i’ve learned a whole lot in my days on this earth
caught some rays and lazed off of lavish praise i never
sought
i pray to god i never let the world get the better of
from below it looks so lonely, from above it looks so
lovely
and i don’t know what to call it, but i hate it, and
can’t control it.
i can’t explain it dude and you can’t hold it.
i’ve got issues in the fissure that i cover with a
layer
of reverb and echoes but i know it deserves better.
see i’m a setter of trends that i follow like a
flightpath
i’ve met enough friends to know i need more guidance.
and having seen violence still it sickens me to lick
wounds
and sit back and not fight still i hold back it’s
alright.
you want raw feeling and the seesaw of indecision,
ask an artist why they think of yesterday's opus.
everyone’s a critic with acidic points of view,
too scared to find love in the hateful things we do.
see the news has me losing faith in todays youth,
cause they still don’t know how to rock shows and raise
the roof.
now i’m old and golden paid the dues i’d been
withholding
now i’ll never work again cause that’s just the life
