Saw you saw you on the TV
You were looking cheeky
ALL DRESSED UP IN YOUR BIRTHDAY SUIT
Been a long time
Long time since I saw you
The colour of your hair’s new
AND THAT SHADE OF GREEN REALLY DOES NOT SUIT YOU
But the picture
Picture’s not quite watertight
Something here is not right
AND I THINK I’VE SPOTTED THE FLAW
NEVER LEAVE YOUR SHOELACES UNDONE!
NEVER LEAVE YOUR SHOELACES UNDONE!
You should be careful
You really ought to watch it
In case you tread in dog shit
YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT GERMS IT MIGHT CONTAIN
You should tie them tie them in a double knot
Avoid a casual trouble spot
AN EASY MISTAKE: ANYONE COULD MAKE
Next time try to be more wary
These small things can be scary
NEVER UNDERESTIMATE LIFE’S TRIVIA
NEVER LEAVE YOUR SHOELACES UNDONE
NEVER LEAVE YOUR SHOELACES UNDONE
Saw you
Saw you on the telly
Sucking in your belly
WHEN DO YOU FIND THE TIME TO OXYGENATE?
Pushing, pushing all your chest out
Trying to block the rest out
STILL BLISSFULLY UNAWARE OF THE FATE THAT AWAITS
You start to stumble
Your stumble becomes a mumble
Mumble becomes a stumble
AND IT’S TOO LATE TO HEED THE WARNING
NEVER LEAVE YOUR SHOELACES UNDONE
NO YOU MUST NEVER LEAVE YOU SHOELACES UNDONE
NEVER EVER.
