Now I've got a guy and his name is Dooley.
He's my guy and I love him truly.
He's not good lookin', heaven knows,
but I'm wild about his crazy clothes.
He wears tan shoes with pink shoelaces,
a polka dot vest and man, oh, man!
Tan shoes with pink shoelaces,
and a big Panama with a purple hat band.
ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh,
ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh,
He takes me deep sea fishing in a submarine.
We go to drive-in movies in a limousine.
He's got a whirly-birdy and a 12 foot yacht.
Ah, but thats a not, all he's got.
He's got tan shoes with pink shoelaces,
a polka dot vest and man, oh, man!
Tan shoes with pink shoelaces,
and a big Panama with a purple hat band.
Now Dooley had a feelin' we were goin' to war,
so he went out and enlisted in a fightin' corps.
But he landed in the brig for raisin' such a storm,
when they tried to put 'em in a uniform.
He wanted tan shoes with pink shoelaces,
a polka dot vest and man, oh, man!
Tan shoes with pink shoelaces,
and a big Panama with a purple hat band.
ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh
ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh
Now one day Dooley started feelin' sick
and he decided that he better make his will out quick.
He said, "Just before the angels come to carry me,
I want it down in writin' how to bury me."
A-wearin tan shoes with pink shoelaces,
a polka dot vest and man, oh, man!
Give me tan shoes with pink shoelaces,
and a big Panama with a purple hat band.
ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh
ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh
ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh
And a big Panama with a purple hat band.
