My shoes taste like fish and chips,
my socks taste like honey.
My hats all smell like bananas,
my wardrobe is real funny.
I can't walk safely anywhere,
not even down the street.
When people see my clothes,
my shoes they try to eat.
I don't know why this happened,
why clothes smell and taste so nice.
But it is so annoying,
when my pants all taste like rice.
I think it was the experiment,
I tried the other day.
I washed my clothes in the oven,
and now the flavours stay.
I'll have to get some new clothes,
some that don't smell or taste at all.
Because my cherry belt is embarrassing,
when it's chomped, my trousers start to fall!
