I like that you don't wear shoes yet I like that you don't wear shoes Shoes are fine for when you grow But I like to squeeze your toes I like that you don't wear shoes I like that you don't have a briefcase I like that you don't have a briefcase That can wait till you're big and fat But for now you don't need that I like that you don't have a briefcase I like that you don't have a mortgage I like that you don't have a mortgage That's ok when you're old and grey But today you can run and play I like that you don't have a mortgage Whistle I like that you don't wear shoes yet I like that you don't have shoes Shoes are fine for when you grow But I like to squeeze your toes I like that you don't wear shoes I like that you don't have a briefcase I like that you don't have a mortgage Or shoes
