I'm wearing shiny new shoes
Sleek and black and snappy
Boy, they make me happy
When I look down at my feet
I'm wearing shiny new shoes
Bows right at the tip toes
Only heaven knows what
Others say about my feet
When we go walkin', walkin'
On the street along Broadway
Up and down the Avenue
Struttin' night and day
People stop and stare and point
But I don't really care
My shoes deserve the looks they get
They cannot be compared
I'm wearing shiny new shoes
Sleek and black and snappy
Boy, they make me happy
When I look down at my feet
I'm wearing shiny new shoes
Bows right at the tip toes
Only heaven knows what
Others say about my feet
Well, there's quite a buzz in my neighborhood
Surrounding my new shoes
I wouldn't be surprised
To find them on the evening news
To see them in a front page spread
Would add to my delight
To keep them in my closet in their box
Would not be right
I'm wearing shiny new shoes
Sleek and black and snappy
Boy, they make me happy
When I look down at my feet
I'm wearing shiny new shoes
Bows right at the tip toes
Only heaven knows what

I could wear 'em to a party
Or to school or to a play
I could wear 'em with my pj's
If'n mom says it's okay
I could wear 'em with lace anklets
Or with skirts both short and long
I can wear 'em here on stage
And dance along to this nice song
I'm wearing shiny new shoes
Sleek and black and snappy
Boy, they make me happy
When I look down at my feet
I'm wearing shiny new shoes
Bows right at the tip toes
