Finally…
A new “Song Of the Week. I know, I know- wasn’t that over a week? Well yes, it was, so… um, we went to Legoland.
We came in second place with “Everybody Calm Down” in the Song Fight last week. Thank you very much for all the votes – we just keep getting more every time. If you haven’t already, please go over there again and vote for last weeks “In the Tank”. It’s a bit heavier than the usual fare here but many of you have been asking for that.
I was going to skip the Song Fight thing for a little while but this idea got stuck in my head and… here it is:
Shoelace Soup
Mr Branch goes out to the back to dig deep deep down down back through the rack – ‘Cause he could eat the pants and the shirt off his back you know he feels so strange – It may have been a little accidental snack – Instead of something cold he grabbed a coat from the back – And he could eat his pants and the shirt off his back – You know he feels so strange – Chewed up my shoes – How can it be so – It used to be the place my toes would go – How can it be so – I fear the next to go is the rest of my clothes – Oh no – How can it be so – Chew chew chewin’ on the last belt loop – How can it be so – Only thing left is shoelace soup – Mr Branch goes out to the back to
dig deep deep down down back through the rack – ‘Cause he could eat the
pants and the shirt off his back you know he feels so strange – Doesn’t want to get fat so he won’t eat a hat – Buttons would be gluttonous and that makes him laugh – And he could eat his pants and the
shirt off his back – You know he feels so strange – Chewed up my shoes
– How can it be so – It used to be the place my toes would go – How can
it be so – I fear the next to go is the rest of my clothes – Oh no –
How can it be so – Chew chew chewin’ on the last belt loop – How can it
be so – Only thing left is shoelace soup

Great song, Todd. I love the music; lyrics are a little unusual but I like it a lot!

I can see a whole cartoon video going on here and I love the music and lyrics!
