Clown Shoes

Clown Shoes - Jay Fanning

The girl that I intend to wed

Just bought a gift for me and 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
