[Intro – slap bass and kazoo, footsteps running on tile] Where’s my sock? It’s gone astray! It jumped off the line and ran away! [Verse 1 – bouncy rhythm guitar, hand claps] It rolled through the hallway, hid under the bed, I found its twin but it laughed instead! (Impolite mister Sock!) I checked the drawer, I checked the chair, That sock’s out there... somewhere! I swear! [Chorus – kids chant with a marching beat] Runaway sock! Runaway sock! Hiding in the laundry block! If you see it, don’t be shy, Catch that sock as it goes by! (But don't keep it yourself, ok!?) [Verse 2 – toy piano joins in, freedom shout in braveheart style] It sailed in the sink, it danced on the broom, It shouted “FREEDOM!” and zipped from the room! Now every shoe is feeling blue, ‘Cause it’s missing its partner too! (Sad shoes stink!) [Bridge – spoken in mock-dramatic tone over slow drums] Some say it joined the circus tent, Performs at night, collects the rent. Some say it’s sailing far away... Sock pirate of the laundry bay! [In exaggerated pirate voice:] (Arrr! too Sockland we go!) [Mini-Bridge – sneaky whisper rhythm with finger snaps] (hey psst...) Maybe if we wiggle our toes a bit, He’ll smell his friends and come back quick! Wiggle left — wiggle right — Here, socky sock, it’s bedtime night! [giggle break] [Final Chorus – faster, louder, everyone shouting] Runaway sock! Runaway sock! Backflip, cartwheel, tick-tock rock! If you see it, let it play — It’ll come home... someday! [Outro – sock squeak sound, soft kazoo fade] (shhhh...) Don’t tell the dryer...
