Now i've got a guy and his name is dooley
he's my guy and i love him truly
he's not good lookin', heaven knows
but i'm wild about his crazy clothes
He wears tan shoes with pink shoelaces
a polka dot vest and man, oh, man
tan shoes with pink shoelaces
and a big panama with a purple hat band
Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh
ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh
He takes me deep-sea fishing in a submarine
we got to drive-in movies in a limousine
he's got a whirly-birdy and a 12-foot yacht
ah, but thats-a not all he's got
He's got tan shoes with pink shoelaces
a polka dot vest and man, oh, man
tan shoes with pink shoelaces
and a big panama with a purple hat band
<instrumental interlude, chiefly sax>
Now dooley had a feelin' we were goin' to war
so he went out and enlisted in a fightin' corps
but he landed in the brig for raisin' such a storm
when they tried to put 'em in a uniform
He wanted tan shoes with pink shoelaces
a polka dot vest and man, oh, man
he wanted tan shoes with pink shoelaces
and a big panama with a purple hat band
Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh
ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh
Now one day dooley started feelin' sick
and he decided that he better make his will out quick
he said <bass male voice> "just before the angels come to carry me
i want it down in writin' how to bury me."
A'wearin tan shoes with pink shoelaces
a polka dot vest and man, oh, man
give me tan shoes with pink shoelaces
and a big panama with a purple hat band
Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh
ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh
ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh
And a big panama with a purple hat band!!
