I woke up late this afternoon -
Found a note by my bed.
Well, my woman had took everything I owned -
And even stole the grease off my head!
But I’m goin downtown…
And I’m gonna buy me some new shoes.
When there’s nothin’ to win, you got nothin’ to lose;
It ain’t nothin’ like a pair of brand new shoes,
Oh yeah!
I had a brand new shiny Cadillac
That I lost last night in a bet.
Well, I fell on my knees I said, “Lord, help me please!”
I had to place my prayer collect!
But I’m goin downtown…
And I’m gonna buy me some new shoes.
When there’s nothin’ to win, you got nothin’ to lose;
It ain’t nothin’ like a pair of brand new shoes,
Oh, yeah! Oh, yeah!
Oh, yeah! Oh, yeah!
Oh, yeah! Yeah!
Yeah! Yeah!
Woo-oo-oo!
Uncle Sam was supposed to send me a check
‘Cause I told him the rent was due.
Well, the check was too small for me to pay it all,
So I got me some hiney, too!
I’m goin downtown…
And I’m gonna buy me some new shoes.
When there’s nothin’ to win, you got nothin’ to lose;
It ain’t nothin’ like a pair of brand new shoes,
Oh, yeah! Oh, yeah!
Oh, yeah! Oh, yeah!
Oh, yeah! Yeah!
Yeah! Yeah!
When there’s nothin’ to win, you got nothin’ to lose;
It ain’t nothin’ like a pair of brand new shoes,
Oh, yeah! Oh, yeah!
Oh, yeah! Oh, yeah!
Oh, yeah! Yeah!
Yeah! Yeah!
