When I was going: barefoot
Gee, how my feet did grow.
They make my old shoes feel quite
tight,
Because they've spread out so.
* * *
But these new shoes that I just got—
Oh, my, how good they feell
There’s lots of room for toes to spread
And support for arch and heel.
There was a sweet lady
Who lived In a shoe,
She had a lot of children—
But she knew what to do.
She didn't whip them.
Or put them to bed;
She made them all happy*--'
With new shoes instead.
