Get Out of These Shoes
It’s been a long day and it’s not over yet.
What’s up next? Try not to fret.
Cuz all I want to do is get out of these shoes!
All I want to do is get out of these shoes!
I walk through the door and what do I see?
My starvin’ Marvin cat staring back at me.
I hear my boys fighting
My time, I’m just biding
Before I walk more
To see what’s in store
A sink full of dishes
What happened to my wishes?
Cuz all I want to do is get out of these shoes!
Yeah, all I want to do is get out of these shoes!
Next thing I see, staring back at me
My worn out man, holding out his hand
As I approach his chair,
He quietly shares,
“We’re out - of - milk”
Back to the car I go
Only to discover the gas is low
Out come my boys
With a boisterous noise
“Mommy, mommy, stay!”
“We want to play!”
“We missed you all day!”
I look at their beaming smiles and what do I do?
I join them inside and get out of my shoes!
The milk can wait.
