Lyrics

The Duct Tape Blues
by Joel Mabus
[a new version appears on the Retold album]

You say your world has gone to pieces -
Things just fell apart.
You want to put things back together
But you don't know where to start.
Well, I got your solution -
The stuff you need to use -
It's a thing called "duct tape,"
There ain't nothin' it can't do.
I say the world has gone to pieces -
What's a poor boy s'posed to do?
I'm just holding things together here,
Singin' the duct tape blues.

I tell you, duct tape is the answer
In a little silver roll.
It'll mend the widest crack,
It can patch the deepest hole.
I put duct tape on my sneakers
When they start to fall apart -
Since my baby left me
I'm wearin' duct tape on my heart.
I swear, the world has gone to pieces -
What's a poor boy s'posed to do?
I'm just holding things together here,
Singin' the duct tape blues.

Now, I'm going down to the Pentagon,
Gonna help my country out -
Tell them five-star generals
What it's all about.
I'll show them my roll of duct tape,
I'll explain what it can do, 
And tell 'em, "It's only 99 thousand dollars,
This week special, just for you!"
I say the world has gone to pieces -
What's a poor boy s'posed to do?
I'm just holding things together here,
Singin' the duct tape blues.
