Lyrics of Duct Tape Blues

Morning found me calmly unaware
My head in a fog
I could feel a stare
Sitting in the corner of my living room
Looking at me with a peaceful gloom

Neglected and in desperate need of repair
Was my well worn but faithful old easy chair

I spent that morning repairing the upholstery
When out of the blue I had an epiphany
The heavens were singing
My soul was set free
Without Duct Tape
Where would I be

Looking drab and gray it's ready for war
Hiding in the back of my old junk drawer
It's uses are endless, so the saying goes
To patch a leaky water pipe or a garden hose

Just one roll will go really really far
To seal a cracked wind shield
On any make of car

No doubt about it, it's a very handy tool
Fixing holes in worn work gloves
Or plastic swimming pools

I use it to hold together my old work shoes
And when I run out
I get the Duct Tape blues

But I can always go, go out and find more
There's always plenty in my hardware store
To the left way in back in aisle number four

And it's so cheap it's almost free
Without Duct Tape
Where would we be
Without Duct Tape
Where would we be

Where would we be
Where would we be
Without Duct Tape
Where would we be (I don't know)
