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