She had gold feet

and wore no shoes

except of course

when the ground was wet.

She was the first girl I had ever met

who had gold feet

and wore no shoes

and so

I asked her to dance.

She had gold feet

and wore no shoes

except of course

when the ground was wet.

She was the first girl

I had ever danced with

who had gold feet

and wore no shoes

and I was careful

not to step upon them.

She had gold feet

and wore no shoes

except of course

when the ground was wet.

It was the most wonderful

dance I had ever had

and I was hoping

the music would never end.

But it began to rain

and the music stopped

and she slipped into a pair

of dark

ugly shoes

with laces

all the

way up.

She had gold feet

and wore no shoes

except of course

when the ground was wet.
