New Shoes
Timmy Abell

I have brothers and sisters too
Our feet grow fast so we all need shoes
But mostly I get hand-me-downs
I'm the youngest of them all

But hand-me-downs are not so bad
They're soft and comfy like old friends
But sometimes they've got holes that leak
Sometimes they really stink...... and I want..

New shoes, brand new shoes
Decorate my feet between me and the street
New shoes, brand new shoes
Gonna have fun, gonna skip, gonna run
Gonna wear 'em right out....New Shoes!

My worn out shoes were way too small
And my brother got new shoes for school
Right in the shoe store his old pair
Got handed down to me

I tried my best to make them fit
But the doggone shoes were way too big
I looked at Mom and then we knew
Just one thing left to do.... and I got..

Chorus

There were shoes of every kind
I'd choose a pair, then change my mind
Orange, yellow, purple or blue
With rainbow laces, too

Some were hightops, some were low
The sneaks were fast and the boots were slow
But the ones I got are really smart
These shoes glow in the dark!.....Yep I got...

Chorus

I can't wait to show my Dad
Late tonight when he's in bed
I'll slowly sneak into his room
My shoes will light the way

I'll wake him up, then dance around
This will probly freak him out
'Cuz all he'll see is dancing shoes
My orange, glowing, my very first pair
Of fancy brand new shoes

Chorus
