There's a really neat song I've heard by a Canadian children's entertainer named Erick Traplin.


DIRTY SOCKS
As recorded by Erick Traplin on "Behind My Attic Door" (1993)

Now my big brother works on the farm, baling straw and hay,
Wearing rubber boots! He works in them all day.
Then at night when he comes home, he puts his socks away,
Stores them in a plastic bag; it's enough to make you gag!

Now early next morning he takes those socks and puts them on again.
I don't know how he stands the smell. His nose must be made of tin.
Then he shoves them in his rubber boots, with a great big grin,
'Cause by week's end, they're dirty and stiff, and he'll make me take a whiff!

CHORUS: Don't make me smell your dirty socks; you've been wearing them all week.
The only thing that could smell worse is your dirty feet.
You said you'd take me to a show if I'd just smell your socks,
But I know if I did that I'd be in a state of shock!

Well, he wears them out all week long and the smell keeps getting stronger.
I think they'd get up and walk away if he wore them any longer.
At the end of the week when he comes home, I can hear him holler:
"Before I take you to a show, you'll smell my socks, you know." CHORUS TWICE

SPOKEN: Aw, get 'em out o' my face, man! They stink! It better be a good show!


another good song: "Star Trekkin" by The Firm (I heard it on the Dr. Demento radio show)
