It was forty of fifty years ago, a big shot played with time
Mr Walker held the dough and both kept Cord in line
Watched and cheked on every single day
Buildig his own special cars his very special way
Oooooh, Oooooh, the new soft shoe
Oooooh, the new soft shoe
And then walking through a Southern mall I saw a shoeshine stand
A man was talking to a crowd holding slippers in his hand
Don't you know the same thing happens each and every day?
Did you ever hear a song that's hard to even play?
Oooooh, Oooooh, the new soft shoe
Oooooh, the new soft shoe
Then a colour TV broadcast snuck in from New Orleans
Showed me one more man who spoke and wore bright blue and green
When you saw him talk his way was when he showed his claws
Spoke to people every day just to get applause
Oooooh, Oooooh, the new soft shoe
Oooooh, the new soft shoe
Oooooh, Oooooh, the new soft shoe
Oooooh, the new soft shoe
