My Good Shoes Are Resting

My good shoes are resting
      uh...under the couch.
You know, those fancy wing-tip style
      snazzy shoes.
They heard about my slackerly life and thought
      "what the hell,
      maybe we'll try that."

I like to dust them off
      and wear them sometimes
      to look nice
      or maybe just feel important.
Walk down the hallway,
      make that distinct loud sound
      (clomp, clomp, clomp).
The sound that says
      "everybody notice me"
      (clomp, clomp, clomp)
      "I'm a professional"
      (clomp, clomp, clomp)
      "I've got things to do"
      (clomp, clomp, clomp)
      "'cause I'm and important person"
      (clomp, clomp, clomp).

But for now my good shoes are resting
      uh... under the couch.
