O stripes of red or gray or blue
Crossed in patterns straight and true
Soft in faded, well-worn hue
O flannel, this is an ode to you

Though collar flips and colors fade
Though fabric wrinkles and sleeve-ends fray
Any outfit can be made
With flannel, I am your faithful maid
O flannel, this is an ode to you

Wear flannel while hiking sixty miles
Wear flannel while walking down the aisle
Not just a regular, boring textile
Flannel isn't fashion, it's a lifestyle
O flannel, this is an ode to you
