Shoes! Shoes! Shoes!



Please leave my brand new shiny shoes alone,
they are my bloody shoes, not your new shoes,
leave them alone, alone, or I might cry.

They are my soft new shoes, they are not yours,
leave them alone please? Pretty-pretty please?
So do you like my gorgeous new shoes then?
No, you cannot have them, get real will you!
They're my spectacular shoes. Get your own.

Shoes, shoes, lovely shoes, they are mine all mine,
look at my shoes, they are so very nice.
Please don't touch my brand new shoes. Look only!
Leave my shoes alone or else I will sob.
No, they are not yours, not yours. No, they're mine.

I have new shiny shoes and they're great shoes,
all I need are some feet to go in them.
Okay. Okay. They are your mad new shoes,
I just want to look at them, just chill out!

Flipping heck! Calm down will you, you nutter,
so they are your brand new shoes, you saddo!
Do not make such a big deal about it,
anyone would think that you are quite mad
the way you keep going on about shoes.
They're just shoes. Can I have them? Pretty please?
