Just bought a gift for me & said
"I bought this 'specially
For all your friends to see
Open it up, go ahead."
"Ah, that's awful swell," I said
I kissed her on the cheek & then
Began to read the note within
"In these you'll look real smart
Because they match your heart"
& so I took them out
Clown shoes; so what's it all about?
Oh no, not clown shoes!
Maybe I'm in for some mighty bad news
She laughed at me & called my name
& all my friends, they did the same
Thought she was sweet & swell
& look how hard I fell
& now I know I was wrong
So I'll go & put my clown shoes on
The girl that I intend to wed Just bought a gift for me & said "I bought this 'specially For all your friends to see Open it up, go ahead." "Ah, that's awful swell," I said I kissed her on the cheek & then Began to read the note within "In these you'll look real smart Because they match your heart" & so I took them out Clown shoes; so what's it all about? Oh no, not clown shoes! Maybe I'm in for some mighty bad news She laughed at me & called my name & all my friends, they did the same Thought she was sweet & swell & look how hard I fell & now I know I was wrong So I'll go & put my clown shoes on Explain Request ×
