Woke up cold one Tuesday
I'm looking tired and f eeling quite sick
I felt like there was something missing in my d ay to day l ife
So I quickly opened the wardrobe
Pulled out some jeans and a t -shirt that seemed c lean
Topped it off with a pair of old shoes
That were r ipped around the s eams
And I th ought these shoes just don't suit me
Hey I put some n ew shoes on
And s uddenly everything is right
I'm saying h ey-ey I put some n ew shoes on
And e verybody's smiling it's so inviting
I'm short on money for a l ong long time
Slowly strolling in my sweet sunshine
And I 'm running late and I don't n eed an excuse
W earing my brand new shoes
Woke up late one Thursday
I'm seeing stars as I'm r ubbing my eyes
And I felt like there were two days missing
As I f ocused on the t ime
And I made my way to the kitchen
But I had to stop from the s hock of what I f ound
A room full of all my friends all d ancing round and r ound
And I th ought hello new shoes bye bye them blues
Hey I put some n ew shoes on
And s uddenly everything is right
I'm saying h ey-ey I put some n ew shoes on
And e verybody's smiling it's so inviting
I'm short on money for a l ong long time
Slowly strolling in my sweet sunshine
And I 'm running late and I don't n eed an excuse
W earing my brand new shoes
Take me wandering through these streets
Where bright lights and angels meet
Stone to stone they take me on
I'm walking to the break of dawn
Take me wandering through these streets
Where bright lights and angels meet
Stone to stone they take me on
I'm w alking to the break of dawn
Hey I put some n ew shoes on
And s uddenly everything is right
I'm saying h ey-ey I put some n ew shoes on
And e verybody's smiling it's so inviting
I'm short on money for a l ong long time
Slowly strolling in my sweet sunshine
And I 'm running late and I don't n eed an excuse
W earing my brand new shoes
O h hey I put some n ew shoes on
And suddenly everything i N.C. s right
I'm saying h ey-ey I put some n ew shoes on
And e verybody's smiling it's so inviting
I'm short on money for a l ong long time
Slowly strolling in my sweet sunshine
And I 'm running late and I don't n eed an excuse
N.C.
'Cause I'm wearing my brand new shoes
