about

This song was written in response to events in episode 12 of season 2 of the 'Dice to Meet You' podcast, online at dicetomeetyou.com/2017/06/16/s02e13-three-secrets-and-a-sack-of-shoelaces/ , and was recorded during the following episode. It was inspired by Cheryl Wheeler's 'Potato' song.

lyrics

They're beautiful and long.
They're what keeps all our shoes on.
They're quite useful, it's true,
For you, if you wear a shoe.

In that case, I quite heartily suggest
that you acquire them by the pair.
Just in case you should happen to break them,
I would definitely buy a spare!

Shoelaces shoelaces shoelaces shoe-
Laces shoelaces shoelaces shoelace-
Es shoelaces shoelaces shoelaces.
Shoelaces shoelaces shoelaces.

Some folks, they might say no.
Those fools want to use velcro,
Some go barefoot, as well.
Screw that! They can go to hell!

From this folly they always will suffer.
Their feet never will be nicely dressed.
For a shoelace lifestyle is perfect.
A shoelace lends to walking its zest.

Shoelaces shoelaces shoelaces shoe-
Laces shoelaces shoelaces shoelace-
Es shoelaces shoelaces shoelaces.
Shoelaces shoelaces
Shoelaces shoelaces
Shoelaces shoelaces shoelaces.
