Socks and Sandals

Nothing can hold a candle to the fashion tip of the 21st century

A cultural gift from Europe and UK
doesn’t matter if you’re straight or if you’re gay
But I bet you any money any day
socks and sandals are gonna be here to stay

Doesn’t matter if you’re young or if you’re old
doesn’t matter if you’re hot or if you’re cold
You don’t have to wear your best pair of shoes
but you sure want it easy on the bottom of you

Socks and sandals
Worn by Fashion vandals
Socks and sandals
Nothing can hold a candle to the fashion tip of the 21st century

You can wear them in or you can wear them out
that’s what Socks and Sandals is all about
In the boardroom and even on the street
you’ll get the eye from everyone you meet
Every middle aged man on every city block
showin’ a bit of leather and just a hint of sock
Ladies you know you want it too, ditch those high heels,
it’s fleece foot fashion for you

Socks and sandals
Too hip to handle
Socks and sandals

Its a combination, had its share of damnation,
Forget your social station, an egalitarian creation

Once you try you’ll never take them off
you’ll never get tinea and never catch a cough
Think of the money you will save
And when you pop your clogs you can wear them to your grave

Socks and sandals
Too hip to handle
Socks and sandals

I ain’t gonna do it, without my socks and sandals on
