Socks and Croc's In the Box

On my sixty-first birthday...
I was in for a surprise 
Family and friends joined me...
All the gals and guys
 
As they slowly came over...
One-by-one 
I knew my night would be filled... 
With lots of fun 

My dear friend Roy...
He had showed up late 
Alone he came...
For he had ditched his date
 
I had to laugh''' 
When I saw what Roy was wearing 
Fuzzy socks and croc's...
And a pink pearl earring
 
Although, I'm not gay...
My dear friend Roy is 
He can live how he chooses...
It's none of my biz
 
My party went on... 
Till late in the eve 
So I opened my gifts... 
'Fore my friends had to leave 

Roy gave me his gift...
With a bow on the box 
When I opened it up...
It was a fuzzy pair of socks...and croc's
