Lyrics for Bad Sneakers
Five names that I can Hardly stand to hear Including yours and mine And one more chimp who isn't here I can see the ladies talking How the times are getting hard And that fearsome excavation On Magnolia Boulevard Yes, I'm going insane And I'm laughing at the frozen rain Well I'm so alone Honey, when they gonna send me home Bad sneakers and A Piña Colada, my friend Stompin' on the avenue By Radio City with a Transistor and a large Sum of money to spend You fella, you tearin' up the street You wear that white tuxedo How you gonna beat the heat Do you take me for a fool Do you think that I don't see That ditch out in the valley That they're digging just for me Yes, I'm going insane (Goin' insane) You know I'm laughing at the frozen rain (Laughing at the frozen rain) And I feel like I'm so alone (So alone) Honey, when they gonna send me home Bad sneakers and A Piña Colada, my friend Stompin' on the avenu By Radio City with a Transistor and a large Sum of money to spend You know I'm going insane (Goin' insane) Yes I'm laughing at the frozen rain (Laughing at the frozen rain) And I'm so alone (So alone) Honey, when they gonna send me home Bad sneakers and A Piña Colada, my friend Stompin' on the avenue By Radio City with a Transistor and a large Sum of money to spend
