You got your toecaps reinforced with steel
|
Hard-wearing sole and heel
|
Make those tired feet feel like new
|
Take your pick, black or Brown
|
Great for the country or the man in town
|
You're gonna need a quality shoe
|
|
You don't want no stand-by pair
|
'Cos these'll take the wear and tear
|
Made to take good care of you
|
For that trip by road or rail
|
For extra grip on those rocky trails
|
You're gonna need a quality shoe
|
|
Now they maybe ain't too hot for dancing
|
But I don't foresee too much of that
|
You ain't exactly gonna be prancing
|
Around in the moonlight
|
With a cane and a top hat
|
|
If you could use a change of pace
|
And be excused from the rat race
|
Just take a look at what's on view
|
Lace 'em up, walk around
|
I guarantee you can't wear 'em down
|
You're gonna need a quality shoe
|
|
Now I wish you sunny skies
|
And happiness wherever you may go
|
But you got to realise
|
There'll be wind, there'll be rain
|
And occasional snow
|
|
You're gonna want to smile in them
|
If you're gonna walk a mile in them
|
There'll be times when you'll be blue
|
To laugh at rainy days and then
|
Make your getaways in them
|
You're gonna need a quality shoe
|
|
You got your toecaps reinforced with steel
|
Hard-wearing sole and heel
|
Make those tired feet feel like new
|
Take your pick, black or Brown
|
Great for the country or the man in town
|
You're gonna need a quality shoe
|
