Blue Shoes

It’s bad luck to put new shoes on the table
Unless you are standing in them
If standing in them on what happens to be a new table
You should walk on your hands

Or fly
If you walk on your hands
Remove all jewellery and empty your bowels

If you fly
You must also empty your bowels,
turn off all cell phones and have the dog put down

If the sky in which you fly is grey
You must shave your underarms and fly facing the earth

If the sky is blue
You can face the heavens and sing a pretty tune.

Blue skies, smilin’ at me
Nothin’ but blue skies do I see
Blue birds singin’ a song
Nothin’ but blue birds all day long!

Never saw the sun shinin’ so bright
Never saw things goin’ so right
Noticin’ the days hurryin’ by
When you’re in love, my, my how they fly!

Blue days, all of them gone
Nothin’ but blue skies from now on!
Blue skies
Blue birds
Blue shoes (new and suede)

Spiralling to paradise
Nothin’ but blue skies and new shoes from now on!
