Ode to Sellotape Lyrics by John Knight

0

SELLOTAPE - Oh - SELLOTAPE
please help me to fix my leaking cape
and help me stop the air escape
from my air-bed Oh please please Sellotape.
No Sellotape in days of yore
the bad old days before the War*
the future George and Colin saw
would lie in Sellotape for sure.
In nineteen hundred thirty seven
cellophane film with rubber resin
their inspiration came from Heaven
Sellotape its birth was birth was given.
Before that date the Christmas season
was a pain - and here's the reason
parcels sealed with sticky paper
all fell apart it was a caper.
With Sellotape it was so easy
parcel wrapping left me queasy
but with the tape it's easy peasy
all secure when weather's breezy.
For wrapping things like frying pans
wine in bottles - beer in cans
Sellotape the whole World spans
several thousand times.
So never take S-Tape for granted
and some respect i hope I've planted
for SELLOTAPE I hear you clapping
unique there nothing else quite like it
(and if there was - someone would make it)
It's indispensable for wrapping! ! !
