Pink Shoe Laces    (1959)

Now I got a guy and his name is Dooley
He's my guy and I love him truly!
He's not good lookin', heaven knows!
But I'm wild about his crazy clothes!

He wears tan shoes with pink shoelaces
A polka-dot vest, and man, oh man!
He wears tan shoes with pink shoelaces,
And a big Panama with a purple hat band!

Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh

He takes me deep sea diving in a submarine!
We go to drive in movies in a limousine!
He's got a whirly birdy and a twelve foot yacht!
Ah, but that's a-not all he's got...

He's got tan shoes with pink shoelaces
A polka-dot vest, and man, oh man!
He's got tan shoes with pink shoelaces,
And a big Panama with a purple hat band!

Now Dooley had a feelin' we were goin' to war
So he went out and enlisted in a fightin corps!
But he landed in the brig for raisin' such a storm
When they tried to put him in a uniform!

He wanted tan shoes with pink shoelaces
A polka-dot vest, and man, oh man!
He wanted tan shoes with pink shoelaces,
And a big Panama with a purple hat band!

Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh

Now one day Dooley started feelin' sick,
So he figured that he ought to make his will out quick!
He said, "Just before the angels come to carry me,
I want it down in writing how to bury me!"

A-wearin' tan shoes with pink shoelaces
A polka-dot vest, and man, oh man!
Give me tan shoes with pink shoelaces,
And a big Panama with a purple hat band!

Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh

And a big Panama with a purple hat band!
