Lyrics

Tape Song

You've got to, ha ha, ha ha
You've got to, ha ha, ha ha
You've got to, ha ha, ha ha
You've got to ,ha ha, ha ha
Tape ain't gonna fix it
Honey, it ain't gonna stick
Tape ain't gonna fix it
Honey, it ain't gonna stick to you
Six kinds of glue
Won't hold you
Won't hold you
Oh my oh, oh my
You've got to
You've got to go straight ahead
You've got to, you've got to go straight ahead
Time ain't gonna cure you
Honey, time don't give a shit
Time ain't gonna cure you
Honey, time's just gonna hit on you
I said time ain't gonna cure you
Honey, time don't give a shit
Time ain't gonna cure you
Honey, time's just gonna hit on you
You've got to go straight ahead
You've got to, you've got to to go straight ahead
Time ain't gonna cure you
Honey, time don't give a shit
Time ain't gonna cure you
Honey, time's just gonna hit on you
I said, six kinds of blue
Won't hold you, won't hold you
Oh my oh, oh my you've got to
You've got to, you've got to
You've got to go straight ahead
You've got to, you've got to go straight ahead
