He was a good lookin' guy.

Stood about six foot three,

Long brown hair

As nice as he could be.

Everybody liked him

But he didn't have a clue,

He looked silly as hell

In those funny French shoes.



You know the type

Without any heels,

Leather soles,

Kind of a slip on deal.

He was cavalier

Whether he'd win or lose

But he looked silly as hell

In those funny French shoes.



I know it's not right

To judge a man by his clothes,

By the way that he looks

Or the people he may know.

I'm embarrassed to say

If I had to choose

I could never really trust

Any man wearing those funny French shoes.



Funny French shoes,

Funny French shoes,

No man should be wearin'

Those funny French shoes.

They look good on a woman's foot.

I must say that they do

But no guy should be wearin'

Those funny French shoes.



Get some socks on, man!
