Let's delve into the eclectic world of fashion.
All comments welcome.

Sandals and Socks


sandals and socks-Mmm Sandals and socks oh yeah
Those sandals and socks Aha

Well, I met a girl on who I was keen.
She wore a red shirt and some old blue jeans.
She sat at the bar drinking gin on the rocks.
Then said I don't fancy a man wearing sandals and socks


Sandals and socks-Mmm (gotta get me some) sandals and socks oh yeah
White shorts-Paisley shirt-blue socks green sandals

Bridge

She said to me with a glint in her eyes.
I hate to disappoint but my standards are high
It seems to me that your down on your luck
I don't no fancy a man wearing sandals and socks.

Who would 'a thunk you could write a song on this subject?

Well, I guess you did and it's a winner!

Hey Rob ...

A pretty cool song. Just another bit of proof that no subject is too far-fetched for a song lyric. I always enjoy your posts ... no exception here! Take care ...

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Rob,
I thought Paisley was cool; no doubt I`d strike out with this gal, but you deserve better luck coming up with fun lines like these.
A well written and sung entry in the fashion of Rob!

Rob,
strange tune, but performed and produced very well. I guess, If I did not understand lyrics, I could of imagined absolutely anything. Thank you for reminding that good tunes, not necessarily have to bear deep meaning. Speaking of bears... I still think your skinning bear tune gets the creative ambiguity prize. Thank you for sharing.

Misha.

Love the title and story.
I was wondering if I needed white shoes when I move to Qld in a couple of months.
I don't think I can go the sandals & socks though...maybe slippers?
Really fun song Robert.
Good arrangement and memorable melody.


Cheers
