TWO-TONE SHOES
(Parody of Carl Perkins' "Blue Suede Shoes")
(Homer Haynes / Jethro Burns / Carl Perkins)

Homer & Jethro - 1956



One part's white, the other is tan
I bought 'em down at Tom McAn
Now don't you step on my two-tone shoes
I'll give you a bruise if you step on my shoes

I went to a dance at the Cimarron
I danced all night with my new shoes on
I durn near danced myself to death
The tongues in my shoes was a-pantin' for breath
Now don't you step on my two-tone shoes
Please don't abuse my purty two-tone shoes

I danced on the bottoms, you danced on the top
Honey, this stuff has got to stop
Now don't you step on my two-tone shoes
You've ruined them now, you great big clumsy cow

Now honey you look so nice and neat
Where did you get them great big feet
When we're dancin' all alone
Leave them combat boots at home
Now don't you step on my two-tone shoes
Can't you see your feet are killin' me

Now tell me, Alice, was it malice
When you stepped upon my callus
My two-tones, I wore 'em plumb full of holes
The tops are shot, have mercy on my soles
