Woke up cold one Tuesday I'm looking tired and feeling quite sick I felt like there was something missing in my day to day life So I  quickly opened the wardrobe Pulled out some jeans and a t-shirt that seemed clean Topped it off with a pair of old shoes That were ripped around the seams And I thought these shoes just don't suit me Hey I put some new shoes on And suddenly everything is right I'm saying hey-ey I put some new shoes on And everybody's smiling it's so inviting I'm  short on money for a long long time Slowly strolling in my sweet sunshine And I'm running late and I don't need an excuse Wearing my brand new shoes Woke up late one Thursday I'm seeing stars as I'm rubbing my eyes And I  felt like there were two days missing As I focused on the time And I made my way to the kitchen But I had to stop from the shock of what I found A room full of all my friends all dancing round and round And I thought hello new shoes bye bye them blues Hey I put some new shoes on And suddenly everything is right I'm saying hey-ey I put some new shoes on And everybody's smiling it's so inviting I'm  short on money for a long long time Slowly strolling in my sweet sunshine And I'm running late and I don't need an excuse Wearing 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 walking to the break of dawn Hey I put some new shoes on And suddenly everything is right I'm saying hey-ey I put some new shoes on And everybody's smiling it's so inviting I'm  short on money for a long long time Slowly strolling in my sweet sunshine And I'm running late and I don't need an excuse Wearing my brand new shoes Oh hey I put some new shoes on And suddenly everything is right I'm saying hey-ey I put some new shoes on And everybody's smiling it's so inviting I'm  short on money for a long long time Slowly strolling in my sweet sunshine And I'm running late and I don't need an excuse N.C. 'Cause I'm wearing my brand new shoes
