"Let's Sew Our Pants Together" is a song by Weezer. It was the second track from the band's first demo, with the same recording later appearing on the Kitchen Tape demo.

Appearances

Overview

"Let's Sew Our Pants Together" was written by Rivers Cuomo and Patrick Wilson near the formation of Weezer around February or March of 1992. It is first known to have been performed live at 8121 Club in Los Angeles. The song continued to be performed at various Weezer shows throughout the spring, and was one of three songs recorded for the band's first demo in May of 1992. The recording from this demo is the same that appears on Weezer's second demo (The Kitchen Tape).[1] The song is not known to have been performed by Weezer after the summer of 1992.

Despite the inclusion of other tracks from The Kitchen Tape, "Let's Sew Our Pants Together" does not appear on the compilation Dusty Gems & Raw Nuggets from the Deluxe release of The Blue Album, as it was purportedly considered too "sloppy" by Todd Sullivan, Weezer's former Geffen A&R representative who produced the deluxe release of Blue.[2] It was instead distributed online in the early 2000s after fans acquired a copy of the Kitchen Tape.

Rivers Cuomo played the song over the video streaming platform Ustream on August 19, 2011.[3]

A demo of the song was released on the digital compilation, Patrick & Rivers on December 9, 2020.

Lyrics

Handwritten lyrics for "Let's Sew Our Pants Together"
Lets sew our pants togethe2.jpg

Raise the window
It's getting hot in here
All these breathers
And all of these suckers
Shake my hand now
Pleased to meet you
Your skin is pretty
But underneath you're a monster

Are we friends now?
Am I your brother?
Can we bleed together?
Are we lovers?

Let's sew our pants together (1, 2, 3, 4, 5)
Let's climb right in forever (6, 7, 8, 9, 10)
Then won't we all be so clever?
If we sew our pants together

Wake the next morning
One below the waist
But you want poached eggs
And I want to go to the bathroom

What do we do now?
What do we make of this?
Can my blood flow
Apart from your stitch?

Let's sew our pants together (1, 2, 3, 4, 5)
Let's climb right in forever (6, 7, 8, 9, 10)
Then won't we all be so clever?
If we sew our pants together

Let's set our hair on fire
Let's throw our hearts in the mire
Let's sell our eggs to any buyer
We've made a liar of desire

Let's sew our pants together
Let's sew our pants together
We've made a liar of desire
We've made a liar of desire
We've made a liar of desire
We've made a liar of desire
