Lyrics
New shoes, goodbye to my blues
New shoes, goodbye to my blues
Won't you tell me
Who will sell me
I saw them in the newspaper today
They've got Hi Heeled Sneekers
Hi Heeled Sneekers on sale
Have you seen 'em?
Can you feel em?
I saw them in the shop window today
They've got Hi Heeled Sneekers
Hi Heeled Sneekers on sale
Hi Heeled Sneekers
Won't last too long
You can't wear them in the rain
(that would be wrong)
But if they look good, and make you
feel fine, it's ok.
(You know they wont last a day)
Will they please me?
Or will they tease me?
I've got the money and i'll get them today
They've got Hi Heeled Sneekers
Hi Heeled Sneekers on sale
Who was it told me?
I think you sold me.
I've got to get them
'Cause i need to belong
They've got Hi Heeled Sneekers
Hi Heeled Sneekers on sale
Hi Heeled Sneekers
Won't last too long
You can't wear them in the rain
(that would be wrong)
But if they look good, and make you
feel fine, it's ok.
(You know they wont last a day)
So I got 'em,
I went and bought 'em
And now I walk down
The high street today
In my Hi Heeled Sneekers
Hi Heeled Sneekers on sale
So you know me?
You wanna feel me?
The height of fashion
And I'm feeling so fine
I've got Hi Heeled Sneekers
Hi Heeled Sneekers on sale
Hi Heeled sneekers
I got 'em at last
And now i wave goodbye
Goodbye to my past
And as i walk down
the street i feel fine i'm ok
(i don't care!)
(But the feeling only lasts a day...)
New shoes, goodbye to my blues
New shoes, goodbye to my blues
