Got a Pair of New Shoes

I spent my money today on something I had my heart set, 
Just like a lady in vogue I feel like one of the smart set. 
I didn't buy pearls like other girls; I didn't buy diamond rings,
I didn't buy clothes of fancy hose or a canary bird that sings. 
But I got a pair of new shoes, polished up and paid for 
Honey, they were made for going to town.
Got a pair of new shoes, pretty patent leather, 
Ought to get together going to town
Prouder than a peacock strutting down the street,
Haven’t you heard I'm like a bird with wings on my feet, 
Cause I got a pair of new shoes polished up and paid for 
Honey, they were made for going to town.
