Shoes ©  4/18/2007    Bob Mullany

My money is gone, it's all been spent
Some went for food, some went for rent
And some I'm not sure where it went
I'm sure  some of it went for booze
The rest of it went for
Shoes, shoes, shoes, shoes,
God, my baby loves shoes !

Don't get me wrong, I'm doing swell,
I've got a good job, they pay me well
But, still, my budget has gone to hell
On shoes, shoes, shoes, shoes,
God, that woman loves shoes !

Red ones, green ones, yellow ones too
Some of them's black and some of them's blue
High heels, flats, and pumps with jewels
Yes, shoes, shoes, shoes, shoes
Man, my woman loves shoes !

When I've gone around the bend
And my life's come to an end
Slice me up in one foot blocks
Throw them into old shoe boxes
And line them end to end
Then bury them deep, my friend
Find some cheap flowers to send
That'll leave her more money to spend
On shoes, shoes, shoes, shoes,
God, that woman loves shoes !

Bob Mullany -I Just Haven't Got the Strength


I Haven’t Got the Strength     Bob Mullany

For over 20 years now I been working for the man
I take it easy now and then, I'm sure you understand
 Boss say, " You may think you're smart,
But I'm a little smarter.
I'll be leavin' early, stay and work a little harder"
 I just haven't got the strength
No, I just haven't got the strength
God knows I haven't got the strength to carry on...

I called to tell my girl," I gotta work a little late"
She said, "I don't mind at all I already have a date
Get a clue, I'm through with you, you can say you been retired
I'm sleeping with your boss, and by the way, he says you're fired
I just haven't got the strength
No, I just haven't got the strength
God knows I haven't got the strength to carry on...

I went to see my priest and told him all about my troubles
He winked at me, said, "Son, you see, I hate to burst your bubble,I feel so bad, you lost your job, and your old lady too
But I been tapping that for years, God knows I'll miss her more than you ! "

I just haven't got the strength
No, I just haven't got the strength
God knows I haven't got the strength to carry on...
 I went down to the hospital to visit my physician
He did some tests, said, "Get some rest, then call up the mortician"
"That can't be, it can't be me, I''m an oldie, but a goodie,
Though sometimes when the pressure's on
I can't quite get a woodie"
 I just haven't got the strength
No, I just haven't got the strength
God knows I haven't got the strength to carry on...
