I wrote this to sing at Camp Wakahakee. I'm playing mandolin in it, using chords that Matt Cross taught me at Worlds.

I hope you guys like it!

I honestly loved it.
Too bad it's not long enough for a routine.

Everybody should make more footbag songs.

I don't remember the names of the chords right now... I'll see if I can figure it out next time I've got it out. I can post the lyrics right now though:

O I don't know what you are doing
Your legs are bare, and they are moving

You say it's a sport and I cannot retort
It's plain to see that it takes effort
Your shirt's too tight and shorts are short
Hacky Sack's a brand of a different sort

Oh tell me now, what's with your shoes
They're rotten and torn, and smell like deuce

Nothing makes sense in this crazy dance
You look so odd in that crooked stance
It might be cool you if you'd all wear pants
and shake that image that you all smoke plants

But I sing now not of your folly
Oh shout it out, it's the world's best hobby!

Foot Bag

(edit: Thank you, Matt)

I'll just try to post pics of the chords...

I'll try to make things more clear later. Hopefully you can work with this in the mean time. The song is pretty simple.

Thanks for all the nice comments, guys! Makes me feel good
