It was forty or fifty years ago A big shot played with time Mr. Walker held the dough And both kept Cord in line Watched and checked on every single day Building his own special cars his very special way
Ooh, the new soft shoe Ooh, the new soft shoe, yeah
And then walking through a Southern mall I saw a shoeshine stand A man was talking to a crowd Holding slippers in his hand Don't you know the same thing happens Each and every day Did you ever hear a song that's hard to even play?
Ooh, the new soft shoe Ooh, the new soft shoe, yeah
Then a color t.v. broadcast snuck in from New Orleans Showed me one more man who spoke and wore bright blue and green When you saw him talk his way was when he shoed his claws And spoke to people every day just to get applause
Ooh, the new soft shoe Ooh, the new soft shoe, yeah Ooh, ooh the new soft shoe Ooh, the new soft shoe, yeahTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
