lyrics

Take a look at me, tell me, can't you see,
I'm right in my cup,
I'm not myself tonight;
It's an awful curse when you have to nurse
A pair of sore pups,
Otherwise, everything's all right.

All dressed up, marcel and everything,
All dressed up, all set to have a fling,
Here am I, breakin' in a pair of shoes.

Got the date with someone I adore,
Now I'm late; I'll bet he's good and sore,
I could cry, breakin' in a new pair of shoes.

Some fine band will soon be deliverin', givin' out music that's hot,
Should I dance? Take a chance?
Ouch, my tootsies!
I don't know, feet may be breaking down, even so,
I've got to go to town,
Here I go, breakin' in a pair of shoes!
