Henry Needs A New Pair Of Shoes
Henry's Quest for New Shoes: A Journey Through Cold Barefoot Blues
Lyrics
The time has long come and gone
The appropriate time has passed.
P.F. Flyers, Converse high-cuts or maybe a new pair of Docs
List of shoe options: P.F. Flyers, Converse high-cuts, or new Docs.
And I know what I'll do
The speaker has a plan in mind.
I'll appeal to their sense of brotherhood
Intending to appeal to others' sense of brotherhood.
And when nobody's looking
Stealthily, when unobserved.
I'll grab a pair and I'll start hoofin'
The speaker will take a pair and start walking.
Well in these cold, grey days
Describing the current dreary days.
It's no longer news
A statement that it's not new information.
Henry needs a new pair of shoes
Henry needs new shoes.
These feet aren't made of rock
The speaker's feet aren't resilient.
And if they had genitalia they'd have frozen their nuts off
Implies extreme cold; if feet had genitalia, they'd be frozen.
And if the shoe should fit
If the shoe is suitable, the speaker would wear it.
Believe you me I'd wear 'em
Expressing the desire for appropriate footwear.
And if I steal your wallet
If stealing, the speaker will use the stolen funds for necessities.
All ten piggies are going to market
All ten toes will benefit from the stolen goods.
Henry needs a new pair of shoes
Reiteration of Henry's need for new shoes.
To get him past these barefoot blues
To overcome the challenges of being barefoot.
And he'd walk a mile in his own shoes
If he had shoes, Henry would walk confidently.
If he only had 'em
Highlighting Henry's lack of shoes.
Come on Henry... up and at 'em
An encouragement for Henry to get up and face the day.
Put one foot in front of the other
Encouraging forward movement despite challenges.
Henry needs new footwear he doesn't need a mother
Henry needs shoes, not a mother's care.
And the important question posed
Pose of a crucial question: how to protect his toes.
Is, how not to lose his toes
The challenge of avoiding toe loss in freezing conditions.
'Cause it's fifteen below
Describing the severe cold temperature (15 below zero).
And Henry's got nowhere to go man
Henry is stranded without a destination.
