Shoelaces — always come untied.
Shoelaces — I swear to you I tried.
To put that rabbit round the tree,
And down the hole, now let me see.
How did these butterflies all get inside?
Oh I wanna run, run, run, run, run — run around the town
(shoe-la-la-la shoe-la-la-la)
And I’m gonna jump, jump, jump, jump, jump— high off the ground
(shoe-la-la-la shoe-la-la-la)
When I figure it out, I know my heart’s gonna soar
They don’t know I’ve never tied my laces before
(shoe-la-la-la shoe-shoe)
Shoelaces — a challenge that I’ve got to face.
Shoelaces always put me in my place.
I’m just a kid trying my best.
Shoelaces put me to the test.
It shouldn’t be that hard or am I way off base?
Oh I wanna run, run, run, run, run — run around the town
(shoop-a-doop shoop-shoop-a-doop)
And I’m gonna jump, jump, jump, jump, jump— high off the ground
(shoop-a-doop shoop-shoop-a-doop)
When I figure it out, I know my heart’s gonna soar
They don’t know I’ve never tied my laces before
(shoop-a-doop shoop-shoop-a-doop)
Oh I wanna run, run, run, run, run — run around the town
(run around the town)
And I’m gonna jump, jump, jump, jump, jump— high off the ground
(high off the ground)
When I figure it out, I know my heart’s gonna soar
(shoop-shoop-shoop-shoop)
They don’t know I’ve never tied my laces before
(they don't know I've never tied my laces before)
They don’t know I’ve never tied my laces before
(they don't know I've never tied my laces before)
They don’t know I’ve never tied my laces before
