I Can't Tie My Shoe

I know this sounds funny but I'm afraid that it's true

There's something so simple I simply can't do

Lots of people talkin'; you'd laugh if you knew

I just never learned how to tie my shoe

I'm sure its a question of aptitude

Talent is something that I exude

But none of my talents seem to include

How to tie up the lace on my shoe

Now some folks laugh when they hear the news

I think their behavior is awfully rude

They ask me to dance, I have to refuse

I just don't know how to tie my shoes

Everyday I work so hard and there's stuff I can do

I can play the guitar, I can sing you the blues

I can sing falsetto, sing bass, too

I just can't seem to tie my shoe
