Thread Name: Lyr Req: Pink Shoelaces (and other novelty songs)
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Tan Shoes and Pink Shoelaces. Verses?
SINSULL posted the lyrics to "Tan Shoes and Pink Shoelaces", but I remember them slightly differently. I can only remember the first verse, but based only on memory, the version that was a hit in the USA went:

Now, I've got a guy and his name is Julie
He's my guy, and I love him truly
He ain't handsome, goodness knows
But I'm just wild about his crazy clothes!

"Julie" was presumably short for "Julius".

A lot of songs from my youth discussed on this thread. Thanks to all for the memories.
