The Braille Song

by Innocuous Mustard

1.    You can read it in the sunshine,
Standin’ in the lunch line,
Under cover after bedtime:

Chorus    Braille braille braille.
Braille braille braille.
Braille braille braille.

2.    Make a memo on your hairline,
Slap a slogan on your bow tie,
Leave a label on your backside:

Chorus    Braille braille braille.
Braille braille braille.
Braille braille braille.

Bridge    Grab your stylus, and your slate,
Come on, let’s communicate.
That Louis Braille sure knew the score,
Back in 1824.

Louis Louis, Oh Oh, we got braille now,
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah.

Louis Louis, Oh Oh, we got braille now,
Come on, let’s go!

3.    You can read it with your elbow,
Attempt it with your big toe,
Don’t ya try it with your tongue though.

Chorus    Braille braille braille.
Braille braille braille.
Braille braille braille.
