The Shoe Salesman |
| Sometimes I feel her feet |
| When I am fast asleep |
| I know that I am dreaming |
| But the touch is soft and sweet |
| The sleep |
| I know that I am dreaming |
| I went to see my mother |
| She told me of her lover |
| She had a long, long time ago |
| She’ll never have another |
| He put her on his bed |
| And looked at her instead |
| Of making love, he laughed a lot (laughed a lot and) |
| And this is what he said |
| Truth comes out of fiction |
| Love comes out of friction |
| Purity is interesting |
| But so is superstition |
| And so I go to work |
| I’m just a short-shirt clerk |
| And open up the store and say |
| Hello, my name is Burt |
| While I look at feet |
| My thoughts are bittersweet |
| I sure did love her black high heels |
| That were so indiscreet |
| But I am not bitter |
| Nor am I out to get her |
| I care so very much for her |
| I just want her shoes to fit her |
