Do You Know The Way To Macramé? by reggie miles

reggie's Comments: Here's yet another song that has spurt forth from the warped edges of a mind that many say would have been better left unused. Written to the tune of, as if you hadn't guessed already, Do You Know The Way To San Jose?

Do you know the way to macramé?
I get the knots all wrong.
The string's so long.
I lose my way.

Do you know the way to macramé?
I've tried embroidery
Knitting,
Even some crochet.

Making purses, belts and headbands,
Add some beads. How does it look so far?
In a week, maybe two, a strap for your guitar,
Weeks turn into years how quick they pass.

Can you guess?
What I made next?
It's a coaster for your glass.

I've got lots of friends who macramé.
Think I'll give it a try,
And make a tie with macramé.

Do you know the way to macramé?
Ma, ma, mama, mama, ma, macramé,
Ma, ma, mama, mama, ma, macramé.

Break

Hanging plant and candle holders,
Made of rope or string or even twine.
Add a branch from a tree.
Now don't it look fine?
Tie your rows of knots in a straight line.

You'd never guess,
The weeks I've spent,
Tying knots and killing time.

Do you know the way to macramé?
Ma, ma, mama, mama, ma, macramé,
Ma, ma, mama, mama, ma, macramé.
