Looking Down At Your Shoes

Looking down at your shoes

Looking down at your shoes

I smell a rat when I see you

Looking down at your shoes

 

First there was wayward Madeleine

You fell for those big sheep's eyes

Followed by her twin sister Hattie

Notorious for her cakes and pies

 

After Jennifer and Lana and Teri

Your eyes were glued to your loafers

You seem to spend all your time

Entwined on other girls' sofas

 

Footwear comes in many forms

You have a fetish for brogues

Once I adored their rugged form

Now they're worn by rogues

 

Looking down at your shoes

Looking down at your shoes

I smell a rat when I see you

Looking down at your shoes

 

Guilt announces its presence

Its symptoms are ubiquitous

Shoes betray any straying hound

Whose bahviour is iniquitous

 

Looking down at your shoes

Looking down at your shoes

I smell a rat when I see you

Looking down at your shoes
