Jill Sobule - Big Shoes lyrics

When everyone wore loafers I needed more support I'd always hide when we take a drive To that awful store I had a choice of black or blue The biggest ugliest a** shoes But what could I do My feet they came out funny Mary McKay she had Mary Janes With that patent leather shine She was known as Tinker Bell And I was Frankenstein Big shoes before they were big Big shoes I'll never forgive My mother made me wear big shoes In my school when Spring came Sandals they were all the rage With plastic beads on straps to match Their painted nails Heavy-footed in the hall What I wanted most of all Was red ball jets So I could get over the schoolyard fence Kip O'Neil she had high heels She went all the way By the time I got up to bat They called off the game Big shoes everyday You can hear them coming a mile away Outside you hear them say Here comes Big Shoes And when I could go to the real shoe store On the shelves I looked in horror On display were combat boots and platforms Here comes Big Shoes Big shoes before they were cool Wanted feet so miniscule I even wore them at the swimming pool Here comes Big Shoes Big shoes everyday You can hear them coming a mile away Outside you can hear them say Here comes Big Shoes
