TWO PAIR OF SHOES
(Kathleen Twomey, Don George, Teddy Hall)
As recorded by:
Carroll Gibbons & The Savoy Hotel Orpheans
V. Carroll Gibbons
Recorded 9th July 1942
Two pair of shoes were walking down the street
They were strangers, yet when their footsteps met
They were swept right off their feet
Two pair of shoes continued on their stroll
In a little park where the path was dark
They were thrilled right to the soul
Then one day they hit their stride
And they paid a call
Down at City Hall
When they left the knot was tied
Just look at them now
As close as they can be
Two pair of shoes
That belong to you and me.
