Trousers are an item of clothing worn from the waist to the ankles, covering both legs separately (rather than with cloth stretching across both as in skirts and dresses). The word trousers is used in the UK and Ireland, but some other English-speaking countries such as Canada, South Africa, and the United States can also refer to such items of clothing as pants. Additional synonyms include slacks, strides, kegs or kex, breeches (sometimes britches /ˈbrɪtʃɨz/), or breeks. Shorts are similar to trousers, but with legs that come down only to around the area of the knee, higher or lower than the knee depending on the style of the garment.
In most of the Western world, trousers have been worn since ancient times and throughout the Medieval period, becoming the most common form of lower body clothing for males in the modern period, although shorts are also widely worn, and kilts and other garments may be worn in various regions and cultures. Since the 20th century, trousers have become prevalent for females as well. Shorts are often preferred in hot weather or for some sports, and also often by children. Trousers are worn at the hips or waist, and may be held up by their own fastenings, a belt, or suspenders (braces). Leggings are form-fitting trousers of a clingy material, often knitted cotton and spandex.
Nicholas William Peter "Nick" Clegg (born 7 January 1967) is the British Liberal Democrat Leader since 2007 and currently the Deputy Prime Minister and Lord President of the Council (with special responsibility for political and constitutional reform) in the coalition government of which David Cameron is the Prime Minister.

Clegg was elected to the House of Commons at the 2005 general election and became the Liberal Democrats' Home Affairs spokesperson in 2006. Clegg became Deputy Prime Minister following the 2010 general election, when the Liberal Democrats formed a coalition government with the Conservative Party. As well as his parliamentary roles, Clegg has contributed to many pamphlets and books on political issues. He has also had a large number of jobs, including being a skiing instructor and working in the office of a bank in Helsinki.
This is a story about a pair or trousers
It deals with a lack of a sense of humour
Or rather a lack of imagination . .
I would like to know, where you put my trousers
I really must go, please give me my trousers
Well it's stopped raining, they must have dried by now
So let's stop gaming, you'll get me in an awful row.
This joke's gone too far, I feel absolutely daft
Over-parked my car, and what's more I feel the draught
What to you hope to gain, by my being trouserless?
Oh I could curse the rain, for getting me in such a mess.
Someone's going to come, why don't you be reasonable?
Now you've had your fun, won't you please be sensible?
How long can this go on? I've looked most everywhere
To put my trousers on, and now I really just don't care.
Would you like my shirt? here's a goodly pair of shoes
Take my coat and tie, what about my underpants?
Trousers, trousers
Trousers, trousers
Trousers, trousers
Trou - - - sers
Trousers, trous sus, sus
Take off your trousers and hang them in the air
I know you're blocked but no one seems to care
When the sun goes down on all the things you said
When the sun goes up on all the living-dead
Why must you hide in the lazy shade of time...
Won't you set your dreams on fire, won't you set your dreams on fire
Won't you set your dreams on fire
In the sun...
Hand out your prizes the ones you lock away
'cause they don't mean a single thing today
When the sun goes down on all the things you said
When the sun goes up on all the living-dead
Why must you hide in the lazy shade of time
Won't you set your dreams on fire, won't you set your dreams on fire
Won't you set your dreams on fire
Why must you hide in the lazy shade of time
Won't you set your dreams on fire, won't you set your dreams on fire
