Clown Shoes

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 and then

Began to read the note within

'In these you'll look real smart

Because they match your heart'

And 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 and called my name

And all my friends, they did the same

Thought she was sweet and swell

And look how hard I fell

And now I know I was wrong

So I'll go and put my clown shoes on

So I'll go and put my clown shoes on

So I'll go and put my clown shoes on
