I Went To Tie My Shoelaces/But Something Went Wrong/They Ended Up Staying Loose/While I was in a bow/ These Things Happen All The Time/Now U Know What Happened/When I Last Flipped a Dime/ This Is My Life/a Topsy Turvey Affair/If My Life Was a Brew/It Would Be Called ‘Masochist Stew’/Now Excuse Me Pals/I Must Prepare For The Next Adventure/To Walk & Chew Gum Simultaneously/Who knows What Could Go Wrong/ I Expect I’ll End Up Inside The Blown Bubble/And Float Away Towards ‘Eta Leonis’/A Star In The Leo Constellation/2000 Light Years From Earth/And Coincidentally My New Home.
