For fear there's much to lose

One of the unwritten rules

Is to at least try to wear shoes

You went barefoot like a peasant

A throwback to the days of old

I wondered about your welfare

I feared you might catch cold

You risked those feet on grass and stone

The other was left hopping mad

Looking down at your shoes

Looking down at your shoes

I smell a rat when I see you

Looking down at your shoes

First there was wayward Madeleine

You fell for those big sheep's eyes

Followed by her twin sister Hattie

Notorious for her cakes and pies

Your eyes were glued to your loafers

You seem to spend all your time

My dad's favourite shoes

Quiet in the walking,

By sun and torch-light.
I love the comfort as men

strive for Comfort.
I love their fashionability,
