《Lace-Up Shoes》歌词

[00:00:06] Let me tell you a little story bout

[00:00:09] The way things used to be

[00:00:11] My Dad took me to Sydney back in nineteen forty three

[00:00:18] He said son you're not wearing those

[00:00:20] They'd call us bush galoots

[00:00:24] If you went out and walked about

[00:00:26] In those high-heeled riding boots

[00:00:31] But I stand back and laugh today

[00:00:33] At the way that times have changed

[00:00:36] So many town-folk dressed as

[00:00:38] If they just stepped off the range

[00:00:42] But that day back in forty three

[00:00:44] I could not pick and choose

[00:00:48] The day my old man made me wear a pair of lace up shoes

[00:00:54] We went out to Regal Zonophone on Parramatta Road

[00:01:00] We walked along Columbia Lane

[00:01:02] Where some famous feet have strode

[00:01:06] But the man in charge was not impressed

[00:01:09] Don't call us we'll call you

[00:01:12] And to make things worse my feet still hurt

[00:01:15] From those dammed new lace-up shoes

[00:01:19] And there were soldiers everywhere

[00:01:21] In town six o'clock was closing time

[00:01:24] And if you didn't tip everywhere

[00:01:26] You went the yanks won all the time

[00:01:30] I was pushed along as I dreamed of home

[00:01:33] Where the skies were clean and blue

[00:01:36] Far away from this rat race in town

[00:01:39] And big mobs with lace-up shoes

[00:01:43] But I stand back and laugh today

[00:01:45] At the way that times have changed

[00:01:48] So many town-folk dressed as

[00:01:50] If they just stepped off the range

[00:01:54] But that day back in forty three

[00:01:57] I could not pick and choose

[00:02:00] The day my old man made me wear a pair of lace-up shoes

[00:02:05] Here we go

[00:02:12] Now as I look back on the singing track since

[00:02:15] Nineteen forty three

[00:02:17] The harder I worked you know old mate

[00:02:20] The luckier I seemed to be

[00:02:23] But I've always sung of the old home run in

[00:02:26] The best was that I knew

[00:02:30] But I still feel bad when I think of Dad

[00:02:32] And those dammed new lace-up shoes

[00:02:34] Hey

[00:02:36] Yeah I stand back and laugh today

[00:02:38] At the way that times have changed

[00:02:41] So many town-folk dressed as

[00:02:43] If they just stepped off the range

[00:02:47] I've lived my life with few regrets

[00:02:50] The same again I'd choose

[00:02:53] And Be flat as a tack in this old felt hat

[00:02:56] With my pair of Williams shoes

[00:03:00] Yodel lay oh lay oh lay hey hey
