      "Wanna learn how to tie your shoes? It's a very easy thing to do.

      Just sit on down and I'll give you the scoop.

      What's that? It's called the Loop de Loop.

      You gotta take a lace in your hand, you go over and under again.

      You make a loop de loop and pull, and your shoes are looking cool.

      You go over and back, left to right.

      Loop de loop and you pull 'em tight.

      Like bunny ears or a Christmas bow,

      Lace 'em up and you're ready to go.

      You make a loop de loop and pull

      and your shoes are looking cool.

      (Instrumental break)

      You make a loop de loop and pull

      and your shoes are looking cool."
