One Shoe

One Shoe

One shoe,

It’s just not right

How’d you end up all alone tonight

Where in the world is your natural mate

How’d you find in a singular state

c

From the day you were created it was meant to be

It’s silly if you think there was a doubt

You’re only half of nature’s synchronicity

And teamwork is what you’re all about

v

Dunb shoe,

How’d you get to be here

You’ll get nowhere without your partner near

You’ll get no bookings as a solo act

You’re one of two, a mathematical fact

c

Didn’t you study your history

And how we work together to go far

From the sandal to the skate it’s not a mystery

There’s no fun with just one bumper car

Short instrumental

c

The present has a way of being hard to judge

The past is just a book already read

The future is a window with a great big smudge

You have to lead or else you will be led

v

One shoe,

You silly thing

A bird would fly in circles with just one wing

But with a little help you can soon bounce back

Let me lend a hand and get you back on track

One shoe.  Dumb shoe.  Poor shoe.
