DUCT TAPE
--Joe Wrabek
1.
This mornin', when I turned on T.V.
A couple guys was talkin' to me
Explaining about the mysteries of duct tape;
It's gray in color, feels like leather,
Sticks almost anything back together--
Lord, but I could use a roll of duct tape.
CHORUS
Since you left me, Baby, my life's been ripped in two,
My whole world is falling apart;
And I'm gonna pray tonight for a big roll of duct tape
To patch up the hole in my heart.
2.
When spackle cracks, and nails don't work,
And screwin' only makes it worse,
The solution to your problems might be duct tape;
It's good for leaks and holes and drips–
I hope it works on relationships,
‘Cause I got one that could use a lot of duct tape.
CHORUS
LEAD BREAK (IF ANYBODY CAN PLAY LEAD)
3.
Well, it's miracle stuff, it's plain t' see,
I hear they use it at the P.U.D.–
That's right, your lights are on because of duct tape;
If your legs got broke or your engine blew,
It could make it look just as good as new–
I wish they could patch up me and you with duct tape.
CHORUS
4.
Well, I wisht I'd learned about it sooner,
I'd have taken some on my honeymoon–
There's a whole long list of things you can do with duct tape;
It can make a marriage last forever,
Keep you and your baby stickin' together–
Never, never leave home without your duct tape.
CHORUS
REPEAT CHORUS & END
