Johnny Burnette - Clown Shoes lyrics

The girl that I intend to wed Just bought a gift for me & said "I bought this 'specially For all your friends to see Open it up, go ahead." "Ah, that's awful swell," I said I kissed her on the cheek & then Began to read the note within "In these you'll look real smart Because they match your heart" & so I took them out Clown shoes; so what's it all about? Oh no, not clown shoes! Maybe I'm in for some mighty bad news She laughed at me & called my name & all my friends, they did the same Thought she was sweet & swell & look how hard I fell & now I know I was wrong So I'll go & put my clown shoes on
