Lyrics
Sailin' shoes
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
There's a lady in a turban by a cocaine tree
She does that dance so rhythmically
She's a laughin' and singin' and havin' a time
And boy that cocaine tree looks fine.
Chorus
Put on your sailin' shoes
Put on your sailin' shoes
Everyone will start to cheer
When you put on your sailin' shoes
Doctor doctor I feel so bad
This is the worst day I've ever had
He says "Have you this misery a very long time?
'Cause if you if I'll lay it on the line."
