Lyrics
[Catchy Instrumental intro]
[Intro]
Young gentleman
We know why you are here
Grab that tie
And head to the mirror
[Verse 1]
Drape the tie around your neck
With your collar up
and your shirt fully buttoned,
place the tie around your shoulders
Hang the wider end of the tie
on your right side,
with the narrow end about
12 inches higher on the left
[Instrumental Interlude]
[Verse 2]
Cross the wide end over the narrow end
Bring the wide end to
the left side of your body,
over the narrow end
Hold the two pieces
of cloth together
with your left hand,
near your neck
[Chorus]
Loop the wide end under the narrow end
Let go with your right hand
Tuck it underneath the narrow end,
grab the wide end, and pull it back
through to your right side
[Verse 3]
Loop the wide end back over again
Cross it over the narrow end one more time,
at the same point where your left hand
is holding the knot together
Pull the wide end up through the neck loop
Fold the tip of the wide end
under itself
and pull up through the neck loop
[Bridge]
Insert the wide end
down through the front knot
You should have a horizontal knot
across the front of your tie
Hold this knot open
with your finger
and carefully insert the wide end
[Instrumental Interlude]
[Verse 4]
Tighten the knot
Hold the narrow end and slide
the front knot up
to tighten the tie
Make sure your tie is straight
and the length is appropriate,
ideally ending at the top
of your belt buckle
[Outro]
Tuck the narrow end of the tie
into the loop on the back side of the wide end
Fold your collar down,
and make sure that the tie is covered
by the collar all the way around your neck
