DIFFERENT SHOES (By Larry Sieniuc)
A whimsical look at the many walks we take in the journey through life. “I have different shoes for different weather. Some are suede and some are leather.”

LYRICS
DIFFERENT SHOES (By Larry Sieniuc)

I got my boots 
When I want to go riding…with Melinda
She’s got Pinto Ponies in her mind
We go riding....into the sunset
And we do it Texas style

I got my sealskin 
From the Northwest Territories
I bought them back in 1967
When there was....no Greenpeace
They cost me 25 dollars at the Bay

BUT WHEN I WHEN I GO DANCING 
DANCING WITH MY BABY
I WEAR MY OLD SOFT SHOE

I GOT DIFFERENT SHOES FOR DIFFERENT WEATHER
SOME ARE SUEDE AND SOME ARE LEATHER
SOME ARE BABY COWS FROM NEW JERSEY
AND SOME ARE WILD PIGS FROM
BORNEO….WO…..WO….WO

I GOT DIFFERENT SHOES FOR DIFFERENT WEATHER
SOME ARE SUEDE AND SOME ARE LEATHER
SOME ARE BABY COWS FROM NEW JERSEY
AND SOME ARE WILD PIGS FROM
BORNEO….WO…..WO….WO

I got my Adidas…for when I’m jogging
Running for my life along the river
Or for playing tennis at Bonnie Doon

I got my imports
For drinking cappuccino
I do it at the corner café
Or playing pool all afternoon

I got my brown shoes…when I’m working
They usually go unnoticed
And they are the most acceptable to everyone

CHORUS

Katrina bought me…some moccasins
She put them under the tree
There’re from Santa not from me 

I got my hiking boots…for mountains
They’ve got gorilla grips for steep hills
And lots of padding for rocky fields

CHORUS

CHORUS
