Honey dear, listen here
I've got the doggone blues
Honey dear, listen here
Just bought a pair of new shoes
A pair of new shoes
Mean terrible news
When they play the blues
What can I do?
Oh, boy! Oh, joy!
Let's jazz it through

But take it slow and easy
If you want to get along with me
Go slow and easy
Easy as a man can be
I'm a lady, pure and sweet
Let's shimmy oh!
So I can rest my feet
Go slow and easy
If you want to get along with me

Honey dear, listen here
I think I'll have to stop
Honey dear, listen here
I think my feet will pop
My shoes are new
They're killing me too
Hear that blue
What can you do?
Oh! Boy, Oh! Joy
Let's toddle it through

So take it slow and easy
If you want to get along with me
Go slow and easy
Easy as a man can be
I'm not pretty
Not a very neat
I'm just a paralyzed gal
With a pair of wicked feet

Go slow and easy
If you want to get along with me
I said
If you want to get along with me
And I mean
If you want to get along with me
