Birthday Shoes by Elaine Pearson

Someone bought me a pair of shoes today

And they’re lovely there is no doubt

But there’s something very wrong with them

And I just can’t figure it out

 

‘Cos I keep on falling over

Can’t walk more than a step or two

Lookya! There I go, I’m down again

Don’t know what I’m gonna do

 

I know, I’ll put me glasses on

Try to throw a little light on the matter

Ah, now I see what the problem is

You’ll think I’m as mad as a hatter

 

‘Cos now I can see what I’m doing

I find the cause is not so drastic

Little buggers are tied together

With a big string piece of elastic!
