Barenaked Ladies Inline Bowline song lyrics

Inline bowline, inline bowline

Inline bowline, inline bowline

First you tie it around your hand

You showed me so I would understand

It's the handiest knot,

It wasn't in the book that I bought

Inline bowline, inline bowline

All who tie a knot at the game

We all were glad that he came

We toyed with tyin' the noose

No one knew he'd give it use

Inline bowline, inline bowline

Inline bowline, inline bowline

Did he think that he was nothing?

Only ending his life was left to try

Over turned over I'm left to sing

Really, why? Really, why?

Really, why? Really, why?

I use it to tie up my canoe [use it to tie my canoe]

I've used it to tie my shoes [used to tie my shoes]

It's handy on a whim [handy on a whim]

This knot is tied to him

Tied to him

Tied to him

Tied to him

Inline bowline, inline bowline

Inline bowline, inline bowline
