This band is dragging.
What is the explanation,
duct tape on our feet?


Music and duct tape,
connected yet unrelated,
much like...duct and duck?


I yelled to Groucho,
"Use duct tape to fix that duct!"
He asked, "Why a duct?"


Says Martha Stewart,
"Duct tape craftwork while in jail.
It is a good thing."


Drummer leaves the stage
using a secret air shaft!
(Band says, "He duct out.")


Toxic additives
to this stuff may cause quacking,
thus: Daffy Duct Tape?


Oh mighty Duct Tape
Your rolls are so portable
Do you come in mauve?


Affix my drummer
His hardware vibrates so much
He falls from the stand


The saxophonist
His licks sound like Kenny G's
Can duct tape fix this?


Your adhesive back
Might help the trombone player
Stick to the changes


What is the big deal?
The crowd claps for you, duct tape
More than my solos


Drum machine jockey
I want to tape your lounge band
Without recording


The stage appears new
There is no trace of duct tape
Stuck to the carpet


If I throw duct tape
But leave the tape on the roll
It will leave a bruise


Closing the spit valve
On my trumpet with duct tape
Saturates patrons


You paddle deftly
Your quack is lilting and gay
Oh I thought you said "duck"


Mighty adhesive
I find your remnants onstage
Years after your use


I think some duct tape
may be required to keep my
beer on the table
