about

All about getting some new shoes, getting your feet measured, and finding the right pair.

lyrics

I woke up this morning so excited I could hardly speak.
I said I woke up this morning so excited I could hardly speak.
My mama was taking me shopping to get some new shoes on my feet.

I knew which ones I wanted coz I’d seen them from outside.
But my mother she had other plans, so now I feel like crying.

I’ve got those new shoes blues,
I wanna choose those shoes myself.
I’ve got those new shoes blues,
My mamma’s choosing something else.

A woman came and measured me. She pressed the slide down on my toes.
Then I grabbed the shoes I wanted and I would not let them go.
Then I saw my mama walking down the boring school shoes row.

I wanted shoes with wheels on or a dolly in the heel.
But my mother just ignored me so I’ll tell you how I feel.

I’ve got those new shoes blues,
I wanna choose those shoes myself.
I’ve got those new shoes blues,
My mamma won’t get them off the shelf

I really like those pink ones with the sparkles and the bows.
But my mom held up black lace-ups and said “Can we try on those?”

I’ve got those new shoes blues,
I wanna choose those shoes myself.
I’ve got those new shoes blues,
My mamma’s choosing something else.
