The time has long come and gone 
P. F. Flyers, Converse hi-cuts or maybe a new pair of Doc's
And I know what I'll do I'll appeal to their sense of brotherhood
And when nobody's looking
I'll grab a pair and I'll start hoofin'

Chorus

Cause^? in these cold grey days 
It's no longer news
Henry needs a new pair of shoes
These feet aren't made of rock
And If they had genetalia they'd've frozen their nuts off
And if the shoe should fit
Believe you me I'd wear 'em
And if I steal your wallet
All ten piggies are goin' to market
(Chorus)
Well in these cold grey days 
It's no longer news
Henry needs a new pair of shoes

Bridge

Yeah, Henry needs a new pair of shoes
To get him past these barefoot blues
And he'd walk a mile in his own shoes
If he only had 'em, come on Henry up and at 'em
One foot in front of the other
Henry needs new footwear he doesn't need a mother
Well, the important question posed
Is how not to lose his toes
Cause it's fifteen below
And Henry's got nowhere to go man

Chorus

Yeah a new pair of shoes
Maybe some blue suede shoes
Just one, Just one
