There's a kid lives in our street,
has a pair of misfit feet
he's as dingtoed as can be,
but a whole lot better than a show to see
When he runs, he always falls,
rips the seat of his overalls,
tries to hide what shows inside,
but his playmates always call.

Dingtoes,
ev'rybody knows Dingtoes
ev'rywhere he goes
hay foot, straw foot,
flippety flop
four feet of mischief
and a little brick top
Dingtoes, little putty nose
Dingtoes they say his face
is black most all of the while,
but back of that black
there's a wonderful smile.
from Dingtoes, Dingtoes
he's a wonderful child.

Dingtoes,
ev'rybody knows Dingtoes
ev'rywhere he goes
hay foot, straw foot,
flippety flop
four feet of mischief
and a little brick top
Dingtoes, little putty nose
Dingtoes they say his face
is black most all of the while,
but back of that black
there's a wonderful smile.
from Dingtoes, Dingtoes
he's a wonderful child.

Every day just after four
the works in the groc'ry store
runs the errands
sweeps the floor
and he eats green apples
'till his tummy's sore
He's a funny kid to meet,
he's the life of the whole darn street
made his fame and got his name
from his little dingtoed feet.

Dingtoes,
ev'rybody knows Dingtoes
ev'rywhere he goes
hay foot, straw foot,
flippety flop
four feet of mischief
and a little brick top
Dingtoes, little putty nose
Dingtoes they say his face
is black most all of the while,
but back of that black
there's a wonderful smile.
from Dingtoes, Dingtoes
he's a wonderful child.

Dingtoes,
ev'rybody knows Dingtoes
ev'rywhere he goes
hay foot, straw foot,
flippety flop
four feet of mischief
and a little brick top
Dingtoes, little putty nose
Dingtoes they say his face
is black most all of the while,
but back of that black
there's a wonderful smile.
from Dingtoes, Dingtoes
he's a wonderful child.
