My girlfriend just won't understand it
She thinks that I'm the one to blame, but that's not right
My shoes are in control, they planned it
For years my shoes have been my friends
I've taken them around the world and to its ends
Now they're taking me....

   My shoes are
   On top of the world
   My shoes are
 (Repeat)

My shoes have never done this kind of thing before
They would not go out in the rain
It was not me who tracked that mud across the floor
I don't know how I can explain
For years my shoes have been my friends
I've taken them around the world and to its ends
Now they're taking me....

   My shoes are
   On top of the world
   My shoes are
 (Repeat)

   My shoes are...
   My shoes are...
   My shoes are...
   My shoes are...

My shoes could get up and go dancin' on their own
It's not impossible, you know
I never left the house -- I was here all alone
I could tell you what was on the late, late show
For years my shoes have been my friends
I've taken them around the world and to its ends
Now they're taking me....

   My shoes are
   On top of the world
   My shoes are
 (Repeat
