"Sneakers" lyrics

"Sneakers"

Well I'm a big ol' bear and I don't
Wear much of anything 'cause I've got fur
But these big ol' feet wouldn't be complete
Without my shoes, no sir
I'm talking about
Sneakers, yeah

My old sneakers are friends of mine
You can't trust any shoes that shine
Some shoes pinch you, some shoes squeak
The only shoes that I would choose
Are shoes that sneak

I'm telling you, my old sneakers are friends of mine
You can't trust any shoes that shine
Some shoes pinch you, some shoes squeak
The only shoes that I would choose
Are shoes that sneak

Whoa, look at these guys
Well there's a toe that is torn
And the laces are worn
So I've added a section of string
I'm not even sure what color they were
But now they're a little of everything

Oh, my old sneakers are friends of mine
You can't trust any shoes that shine
Some shoes pinch you, some shoes squeak
The only shoes that I would choose
Are shoes that sneak

Sneak
Now I'm walking around without any sound
I'm a quiet ol' bear and shy
When you're unaware that a bear is there
Well, here's the reason why
It's the sneakers
Now you know

They'll try to get you to use uncomfortable shoes
When you got to look nice and neat
But most of the time you'll notice
That I'm keeping these sneakers on my feet

My old sneakers are friends of mine
You can't trust any shoes that shine
Some shoes pinch you, some shoes squeak
The only shoes that I would choose
Are shoes that sneak

The only real alternative is
Yup, bear feet
