lyrics

JACK'S CANCELLATION SHOES

people, yesterday I had the blues
like I was missing all my goddang cues
i thought “what’ve I got to lose?”
i went to Jack’s Cancellation Shoes
Jack’s Cancellation Shoes

i bought a real nice pair at Jack’s
then i jeaded for the railroad tracks
hopped a train to Santa Cruz
in my Jack’s Cancellation Shoes
Jack’s Cancellation Shoes

when I got there, the folks all said
“you ought to buy your shoes from Fred!
Fred’s are much better than Jack’s
and Fred don’t charge no sales tax!
no sales tax! no sales tax!”

so i told ‘em “hey y'all, Jack’s are best!
you want your Fred’s? well, be my guest!
cause i’m going back to New York town
you yokels are bringing me down!
you yokels are bringing me down!
bringing me down! bringing me down!
bringing me down! bringing me down!”

so i’m headin’ back to New York now
just as fast as my feet will allow
and people let me tell you the news
i’m goin’ to Jack’s Cancellation Shoes
right on back to Jack’s
right on back to Jack’s
right on back to Jack’s Cancellation Shoes
