And now you're walkin'
Just like you're ten feet tall
Go ahead
Lickidy split
Better move quick
Better not slip
Better get hip
I don't think the bit
Lookin' for a hoot
I'm gonna shout,
Where'd you get those boots!
Just like puss 'n' boots
I hope you don't get shot for tryin'
Oh baby, shot for tryin'
Oh little master holy
Has to change his name
Cause all the boys and girls think
That you're too easy game
Don't you know the shoes
Is makin' him lame
Shut him up boss
Keep the change
Just like puss 'n' boots
I hope you don't get shot for tryin'
Get shot for tryin'
Shot for tryin'
There's just one thing
That i'm trying to say
Sometimes you got to get away some place
And now you're walkin'
Just like you're ten feet tall
Oh, boy girl that's just all
Just like puss 'n' boots
I hope you don't get shot for tryin'
Baby shot for tryin'
If all you wanna do is save your face
And what you gonna do after this place
I'm screamin'
Help help help
Full of grace now
What i say
Little master holy
Has to change his name
All the boys and girls think
He's too easy game
Don't you know the boots
Are makin' him lame
I'm screamin' shut him up boss
Keep the change
Just like puss 'n' boots
I hope you don't get shot for tryin'
Baby shot for tryin'
Well this is one thing
That i'm tryin' to say
Sometimes you got to get away some way
Until you're walkin'
Just like you're ten foot tall
Boy girl that should be all
Just like you're ten foot tall
I sure hope you don't fall
Oh, when you're ten foot tall
Go ahead now
Making that split
Better move quick
Better not slip
Better get hip
I done plead the fifth
Going for a hoot
I thought i'd shout
Hey where did you get those boots
Just like puss 'n' boots
I hope you don't get shot!
