For the love of socks

## Description

tasha, tyrone, uniqua, and pablo make socks for a living, but when tasha's pencil falls into the sock machine, she must get it out or it will be the end of socks

## Song lyrics

socks, wonderful socks

Socks, wonderful socks!

There is nothing greater

Socks, wonderful socks!

Then being a sock creator

We love making socks for you

and keeping your feet warm

They're also great in a roller skate

Or as a puppet on your arm

Socks, wonderful socks!

They fit right on with ease

Socks, wonderful socks!

To your ankles, thighs and knees

When we go to sleep at night,

it's socks that fill our dreams

The rounded heel The fuzzy feel

The perfectly sewn seam

Spots and stripes and argyle, too,

whatever it is you seek

We have a ball and make them all

Distinctive and unique

Socks, wonderful socks!

Oh, what a joy to wear

Socks, wonderful socks!

Let us make you a pair!

We love making socks,

groundbreaking socks,

breathtaking socks

Socks, wonderful socks!

that's my job

Each time the socks come out

I send them down the line

I mark them down and yell real loud

The color and the kind

Foreman Tasha, that's her name

Our leader and our boss

That's my job, that's my job

I call then mark and toss.

When socks get stuck together

They call it static-cling…

But I make sure they're pulled apart

Static ain't my thing…

Tester Pablo, that's his name

The guy who tests for static

That's my job, that's my job

The work makes me ecstatic

My job's to find the matches

Because socks should be a pair

Only when they are the same

Are socks okay to wear

Tyrone matches socks all day

Matching is his game

That's my job, that's my job

Each pair should be the same

My job is folding each pair

tight and snug

I line them up then loop and roll

and finish with a tug

Man that girl can fold

Her style is oh so bold

Did you see the way she rolled?

Ooh, she sure can fold

Gee whiz, we love our jobs

Each shift's a real delight

And if we didn't have to sleep

We'd probably work all night

Factory workers, yes we are

We make our socks our biz

That's our job, that's our job

The greatest job there is

a life without socks (is not the life for me)

Imagine waking up, your feet are bare

and haven't got socks to wear

From your heel to your toe,

there's nowhere for your feet to go

Children playing in the street

Nothing on their little feet

Oh the blisters, how they'd hurt,

on tinysoles all caked in dirt

A world that has no socks is not a world I want to see

A place without socks is not some place I want to be

We cannot fail, we can't accept defeat

It's not the time to get cold feet

'Cause the world may keep on spinning,

there could still be fish in the sea

But a life without socks...

is not the life for me!

All the finest clothes Wouldn't be complete

Without a pair of socks On your undressed feet

From yellow stripes to polka dots

There's no beauty quite like socks

A world that has no socks is not a world I want to see

A place without socks is not some place I want to be

We must push on, we're on the clock

We'll save the world for the love of socks

'Cause the world may keep on spinning

There could still be fish in the sea

But a life without socks...

is not the life for me!

No socks...Chilly toes on a winter's day

No socks...You can't go outside and play

No socks...Lonely toes are cold and sore

No socks...I can't take it any more

A world that has no socks is not a world we want to see

A place without socks is not someplace we want to be

We cannot fail, we can't accept defeat

It's not the time to get cold feet

'Cause the world may keep on spinning

There could still be fish in the sea

But a life without socks...

is not the life for me!

get the pencil back to me

We gotta get the pencil, gotta get the pencil

Get the pencil, gotta get the pencil Get the pencil back to me!

Gotta get the pencil, gotta get the pencil

Get the pencil, gotta get the pencil Gotta save the factory!

We're slipping and we're sliding and we're zooming and we're gliding

We're following the pencil to and fro, we're following the pencil to and fro

Need move a little faster, need to stop a big disaster

Just remember, don't look down and don't let go...

We gotta get the pencil, gotta get the pencil

Get the pencil, gotta get the pencil Or we're all in for a shock!

Gotta get the pencil, gotta get the pencil

Get the pencil, gotta get the pencil Get the pencil, save the socks!

Gonna have it, gonna grab it, gonna seize it, gonna squeeze it

Or else we're gonna really disappoint!

Gonna catch it, gonna snatch it, gonna get it, don't forget it

I think by now you probably got the point...

We gotta get the pencil, gotta get the pencil

Get the pencil, gotta get the pencil Gotta zip and zoom and crawl!

Gotta get the pencil, gotta get the pencil

Get the pencil, gotta get the pencil Before it hits that giant ball!

We can't, we can't let it reach that ball of yarn

We won't, we won't Almost got it, no wait, darn

Hurry, hurry, pencils make it go berserk

Or else, or else we'll need a whole new line of work...

Gotta get the pencil, gotta get the pencil

Get the pencil, gotta get the pencil Get the pencil back to me!

Gotta get the pencil, gotta get the pencil

Get the pencil, gotta get the pencil Gotta save the factory!
