This was on a rockabilly compilation.

TWO-TONE SHOES - Homer & Jethro

One part's white. The other is tan.
I bought 'em down at Thom McAn.
Now don't you step on my two-tone shoes.
I'll give you a bruise if you step on my shoes.

I went a dance at the Cimarron.
I danced all night with my new shoes on.
I durn near danced myself to death.
The tongues in my shoes was a-pantin' for breath.
Now don't you step on my two-tone shoes.
Please don't abuse my purty two-tone shoes.

I danced on the bottoms. You danced on the top.
Honey, this stuff has got to stop.
Now don't you step on my two-tone shoes.
You've ruined them now, you great big clumsy cow.

Now honey you look so nice and neat.
Where did you get them great big feet?
When we're dancin' all alone,
Leave them combat boots at home.
Now don't you step on my two-tone shoes.
Can't you see your feet are killin' me?

Now tell me, Alice, was it malice
When you stepped upon my callus?
My two-tones, I wore 'em plumb full of holes.
The tops are shot. Have mercy on my soles.

There is an old thread about the original BLUE SUEDE SHOES but it doesn’t contain lyrics, and it degenerated into a long discussion of “Is this folk music?/What is folk music?/Should we be a folk-music-only site?”. –JoeClone, 13-May-2008.
