What Is a Blouse? by The Zach and The Jess Lyrics
[Verse 1: Jessica McKenna, Zach Reino]
Hello, I got a question to posit:
Can I take a look inside your closet?
Got a fashion mystery to figure out
I gotta to know, what exactly is a blouse?
Ooh, you organize like a rockstar
I'm gonna skip to the spot where the tops are
Now, this is a coat and this is a jacket
But what is this shirt?
I've got to unpack it
First thing that I be spottin'
This v-neck shirt that's made of cotton. (Hmm.)
And I can go ahead and rule it out
Because I know if it's cas, then it's not a blouse
So, I know a little about this
Like I know the plural of a blouse is blouses
That, hey, this looks like a blouse to me
But I can't figure out what a blouse should be
Like what is it, though?
It's so confusing
[Chorus 1: Jessica McKenna & Zach Reino]
What is a blouse?
Like, what the hell is a blouse?
I've been trying so hard to figure it out
Is it like not all houses are mansions
But every single mansion's a house
Oo-wa-oh!
What is a blouse?
Why will nobody say?
I asked a scientist, he just ran away
While shouting, "Every mouse is a rodent
But every rodent is not a mouse!"
Oo-wa-oh!
What is a blouse?
[Verse 2: Jessica McKenna, Zach Reino, Zach & Jess]
Can it be worn it modern times
By sexy people written by Shonda Rhimes?
Or, should it have died with the plague
Since it's plagued by the curse of being vague?
Is it dissimilar to a baggy shirt
Or a sail too small for a boat to work?
A pillowcase but with a place for arms?
A v-neck with exceptional grace and charms?
A classic tee that got loose and swollen
A button up with all the buttons stolen?
An unflattering protection against the handsy?
Or a normal shirt that said, "Today I'm fancy."
A raincoat, but cloth, without a hood,
And it doesn't protect against the rain so good?
A three-piece suit, but only the vest piece
And the vest doesn't resemble a vest in the least?
What is this?
I have no idea
[Chorus 2: Jessica McKenna & Zach Reino]
What is a blouse?
Why is nobody sure?
I asked my grandpa, he served in the war
He told me, "Every Kraut is a German
And every single German's a Kraut."
I said, "Grandpa, that's racist!"
Also, what is a blouse?
[Verse 3: Jessica McKenna & Zach Reino]
Wikipedia says a blouse is a loose-fitting upper garment
Worn by both workmen and artists
And peasants and women and children and men
Men? That can't be right, but I check it again
It says it can be the jacket of a military uniform
This is the clothing equivalent of a unicorn
Traditionally gathered up by a waistband
Goddamn, Wikipedia's a wasteland
It doesn't stop there
I don't understand
Not every pant is a trouser, but every trouser's a pant?
[Chorus 3: Jessica McKenna & Zach Reino]
What is a pant?
Is it half of some pants?
How would you wear that?
I don't understand
And even if you could
You'd be walking around with half your junk hanging out
What were we talking about? (Blouse!)
What is a blouse?
Why does nobody know?
The apparel enigma, the Stonehenge of clothes
I used to think my spouse was my partner
But now is every partner my spouse?
Oo-wa-oh!
