Thread Name: Lyr Req: Duct Tape Madrigal in C Major (Nathanson)
Subject: Lyr Add: DUCT TAPE MADRIGAL IN C MAJOR (Nathanson)
The song is called Duct Tape Madrigal in C Major. It was written by my good buddy Lou Nathanson and recorded on his CD "Genetically Enhanced". There are three voices singing three distinct parts. Lou sings the tenor part, another friend named Robin Hopper sings the soprano part and mine is the deep bass-baritone voice on the third part. The lyrics are as follows:

Duct Tape Madrigal in C Major
by Lou Nathanson

(Tenor)
Duct tape, duct tape oh where is my duct tape,
My old boat is leaking, my window is cracked,
My poor heart is broken, I'll fix it with duct tape,
Fix it with duct tape until you come back.

(Bass-baritone)
Duct tape its better than glue,
Fixes stuff just like new,
Be prepared throughout your life
Keep a roll beneath your pillow at night.

(Soprano)
Scotch tape and masking tape and electrical tape.
I have tried every single color, each variety and every shape,
But only duct tape can bind you to me,
Oh where is my duct tape oh where can it be.

It was a lot of fun recording this CD with Lou as well as performing this song at festivals and shows for many years. Once in awhile we still manage to do a live performance for appriciative fans.
