New Boots

I've got some brand new walking boots,
As comfy as can be,
I love my brand new walking boots,
They were surely made for me.
They are going to take me places 
I have never been before,
Across the cliffs and coastal paths 
And down onto the shore.
We'll scramble on rocks together,
Jump down onto the sand,
Oh my brand new walking boots 
Are really very grand.
We'll go walking by the river,
Underneath the trees,
Make lots of noise, scrunching through,
All the Autumn leaves.
On our walk we'll find a pub,
To stop and have a treat.
I'll sit and put my legs up 
So I can admire my feet.
We can explore our country,
Walk through our national parks,
I promise to always keep you clean,
Polish off your marks.
So I'm lacing up my walking boots
For my first walk I'm so excited,
But if you dare to pinch my toes 
Our union will be blighted.
Are you listening walking boots 
Don't give me a single blister
'Cause if you do, I promise to,
Give you to my sister!
