Tyin' Your Shoes is a song from the credits of Rock-A-Doodle. It is sung by Phil Harris, who also voiced Patou in the same film. In fact, it was sung in Patou's viewpoint, and it sounds as if the character was singing the song off-screen. Only in the audio soundtrack does Toby Scott Ganger (who voiced Edmond) sing with him.

CHORUS:
Tyin' your shoes
Tyin' your shoe shoe bah doo bah, shoebah
Tyin' your shoes
Tyin' your shoe shoe bah doo bah
Tyin' your shoes

PATOU:
This old dog
Has paid his dues
But I can still learn a new trick or two
'Cause I've been over, around, under and through (Tyin' your shoes)
Life is just like tyin' your shoes

Now half the world is singin' the blues (Singin' the blues)
But I've learned if you laugh you've got nothing to lose
Cause I've been over, around, under and through (Tyin' your shoes)
Life is just like tyin' your shoes

Now when you try (When you try)
Something new (Something new)
Now, you're bound to make mistakes (You'll make mistakes)
Hey, but, no use cryin'
Just keep on tryin'
Soon you'll find it's a piece of cake

(Tyin' your shoes)
Kid, you're never too old to learn
(Tyin' your shoes)
Now I'm really old
And I'm all ready to burn, you see
'Cause I've been over, around and under and through
Life is just like tyin' your shoes

PATOU & EDMOND:
'Cause I've been over, around, under and through

Life is just like tyin' your shoes
Life is just like tyin' your shoes (Tyin' your shoes)
Yeah, just like tyin' your shoes (Tyin' your shoes)
Life (Life)
is (is)
just (just)
like (like)
tyin' your shoes

Doo bah doo bah shoe bah doo bah
Tyin' your shoes
