Marilyn South - Put Your Shoes On, Penny

Got an invitation to visit Manhattan Kid
With my highfalutin' kin
Sent off to the catalog to get some clothes
Felt so stylish from her head to her toes
Seen all the sights and I even did some flirtin'
I was doin' alright till her feet started hurtin'
So Penny kicks off her shoes when I thought they couldn't see
But they must have, 'cos this is what they all said to me
Put your shoes on, Penny, don't you know you're in the city
Put your shoes on, Penny, it's really such a pity
That Penny can't go barefoot wherever she goes
Penny loves to feel the wiggle of her toes
Put your shoes on Penny 'cause you're here in old New York
You'll get by alrighty if you let 'em hear you talk
All the city slickers love that southern drawl
So give 'em that "Honey chile" and "Hi, y'all"
Penny, let the good things happen
Penny, won't you stop that gapin'
How you act will be the death of me
Don't they have skyscrapers down in Tennessee
Put your shoes on, Penny, even though they kinda pinch
Stop baulkin', you gotta do some walkin', it's a cinch
Use your party manners, you'll need them and how
Put your shoes on Penny, you're a big girl now
