Mal Webb - Knot lyrics

As you two view to tie the knot, let's cast our minds to hitches With binding lines in swinging reels, you may wind up in stitches Now any able seaman, leading scout and social climber Could tell you what's the knot that's got the lot, but here's a primer A Sheet Bend's good in bed, despite discrepancy of rope Tonight you might unite and quite dyslexicly, I'd hope A Reef Knot leaves you on the rocks and in a bind you'll be You'll take a dive, you'll get the bends, washed up and all at sea A Sheepshank only shortens things, but dinner might be roast A Clove hitch adds some spice, but only ties onto a post Please be afraid not as your close knit family lines entwine Some snarls and twists are normal when they wind up on the wine A Truckie's Hitch pulls 2 to 1, could tie you down real tight A bu*terfly loop loop's the bight when there's no end in sight Round Turn and 2 half hitches has a bigamous repute A fly bi guy with double brides and Double Bows to boot Now Figure 8s and Bowlines only tie rope to itself You'll find one liners of this kind get left upon the shelf A knot you can't undo won't do, so tangled webs beware Reply your twines from time to time, repair the wear and tear A nerdy knot nut might like Zeppelin or Ashley bends Or delve the depths of string/knot theory maths to meet their ends True Lover's knot sounds negative, a slipknot's bound to flop A Noose and Jug Sling should hang out with friends who like a drop A Whatknot is a Backward Granny, simple, sweet and strong But comes to Grief and falls apart if tied just slightly wrong So now it's up to you to choose the best and lose the worst In love's three legged human race you're bound to tie for first
