Ylvis Trucker's Hitch Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I
I know how to tie
Every kind of knot
Except one
It's so hard
The greatest knot of all
So flexible and strong
But I do something wrong

I know the Bowline
Sheepshank
And the Double Overhand
But the Trucker's Hitch
I just don't understand

[Chorus 1]
Let's do the Trucker's Hitch
The Trucker's Hitch

[Verse 2]
I
I really like to sail
Just the sea, the wind, and me
But whenever
I adjust my sail
Try to loosen it up
While I'm docking my boat
I fail

I know the Square Knot
The Clove Hitch
The Double Shoelace Bow
But the Trucker's Hitch
Is all I need to know!

[Chorus 2]
Let's do the Trucker's Hitch
The Trucker's Hitch
Let's do the Trucker's Hitch
The Trucker's Hitch

[Bridge]
People of the world! The time has come...
To tie this knot once and for all!
Bonitas
Show me the ropes!
(Oh whoa)
On every dance floor across the world
Let's do the Trucker's Hitch
Are you ready?
(Oh whoa)
Let's tie this knot!
Tie! Tie! Tie! Tie! Tie!
This is how you do it!

Bring it up
Check the rope
Spin around
On the neck
Whip it, whip it
Take it home
Bring it up, split it now
Shoulder, now, make a loop
Pull it, feed it, push it through
Up, stretch, down again
In the face, and prepare
Lift, pull, bring it 'round
Thigh, tie, tighten tie
Kick the heel, swivel time
Round, round, back to knot
(C'mon)
Pull the loop
Down and through
Pull again
Lift the hand
Through the loop
Make a stitch

Now you got your Trucker's Hitch
