Lyrics

This simple song is my tribute
To something I’m crazy about
I’ll say in advance there’s a pretty good chance
You’ve got some in a drawer at your house

You can use it to make bumper stickers
It’ll take the lint off of your clothes
It’ll fix up your kite and your broken taillight
Holds the back on the TV remote, it’s…

CHORUS 1:
Duct tape, duct tape, everyone’s all-purpose tool
Duct tape, duct tape, silver and shiny and cool
Duct tape, duct tape, useful and versatile stuff
It’s always the ticket, if duct tape don’t fix it
You simply have not used enough

You can use it to fashion a wallet
Resurface your old trampoline
On brisk windy days it holds down toupees
And it’ll patch up that hole in your jeans

One girl even made her own prom dress
It’ll keep your kid brother’s mouth shut
It seals bags of chips, it’s a pore-cleansing strip
And a band-aid for really big cuts, it’s…

CHORUS 2:
Duct tape, duct tape, everyone’s all-purpose tool
Duct tape, duct tape, silver and shiny and cool
Duct tape, duct tape, better than staples or glue
It fills window cracks during bio attacks
There’s no limit to what it can do

It’s no longer a masculine product
Its feminine uses are great
Unlike scotch or masking, it’s perfect for waxing
It even lifts and separates

CHORUS 3:
Duct tape, duct tape, everyone’s all-purpose tool
Duct tape, duct tape, silver and shiny and cool
Duct tape, duct tape, there’s simply nothing better
Like the force of a Jedi, there’s a dark side and light side
And it holds the universe together
