Lyrics of

Bad sneakers

Play the MIDI file
	
Five names that I can hardly stand to hear
Including yours and mine, and one more chimp who isn't here
I can see the ladies talkin', how the times are getting hard
And that fearsome excavation, on Magnolia boulevard 

And I'm going insane,
And I'm laughing at the frozen rain
And I'm so alone, honey when they gonna send me home ?

Bad sneakers and a pina colada my friend
Stopping on the Avenue by Radio City
With a transistor and a large sum of money to spend

You fella, you tearin' up the street
You wear that white tuxedo, how you gonna beat the heat?
Do you take me for a fool, do you think that I don't see
That ditch out in the valley, that they're digging just for me ?

[chorus]

[solo]
