Got an invitation
to visit in Manhattan
with my high falutin' kin,
ordered from the catalogue
some fancy clothes
Looked so stylish
from my head to toes,
saw ev'ry sight
and I even did some flirtin'
did all right 'til my feet
took to hurtin'
so I slipped off my shoes
when I thought they couldn't see
but they must a
'cause this is what
they always sang to me:

Put your shoes on, Lucy
don'tcha know you're in the city
Put your shoes on, Lucy
it's really such a pity
that Lucy can't go barefoot
where ever she goes,
'cause she loves to feel
the wiggle of her toes.
Put your shoes on, Lucy,
'cause you're here in ol' New York
you'll get by alrighty
if you let 'em hear you talk,
all the city slickers
love that Southern drawl,
so give 'em that "Honey Chile"
an' "How you awl"
Lucy let the good things happen
Lucy won't ya stop that gappin'
How you act will be the death of me,
Don't they have sky scrapers
down in Tennessee?
Put your shoes on Lucy
even tho' they kind a pinch
stop balkin'
ya gotta do some walkin'
that's a cinch
Use your party manners
you'll need them and how,
Put your shoes on, Lucy
you're a big girl now.

Put your shoes on, Lucy
don'tcha know you're in the city
Put your shoes on, Lucy
it's really such a pity
that Lucy can't go barefoot
where ever she goes,
'cause she loves to feel
the wiggle of her toes.
Put your shoes on, Lucy,
'cause you're here in ol' New York
you'll get by alrighty
if you let 'em hear you talk,
all the city slickers
love that Southern drawl,
so give 'em that "Honey Chile"
an' "How you awl"
Lucy let the good things happen
Lucy won't ya stop that gappin'
How you act will be the death of me,
Don't they have sky scrapers
down in Tennessee?
Put your shoes on Lucy
even tho' they kind a pinch
stop balkin'
ya gotta do some walkin'
that's a cinch
Use your party manners
you'll need them and how,
Put your shoes on, Lucy
you're a big girl now.
