now i’ve got a guy and his name is dooley
he’s my guy and i love him truly
he’s not good lookin’ heaven knows
but i’m wild about his crazy clothes
he wears tan shoes with pink shoelaces
a polka dot vest and man oh man
tan shoes with pink shoelaces
and a big panama with a purple hat band
oohooh ooh ooh
oohooh ooh ooh
he takes me deepsea fishing in a submarine
we got to drivein movies in a limousine
he’s got a whirlybirdy and a foot yacht
ah but that’sa not all he’s got
he’s got tan shoes with pink shoelaces
a polka dot vest and man oh man
tan shoes with pink shoelaces
and a big panama with a purple hat band
now dooley had a feelin’ we were goin’ to war
so he went out and enlisted in a fightin’ corps
but he landed in the brig for raisin’ such a storm
when they tried to put ’em in a uniform
he wanted tan shoes with pink shoelaces
a polka dot vest and man oh man
he wanted tan shoes with pink shoelaces
and a big panama with a purple hat band
oohooh ooh ooh
oohooh ooh ooh
now one day dooley started feelin’ sick
and he decided that he better make his will out quick
he said just before the angels come to carry me
i want it down in writin’ how to bury me
a’wearin tan shoes with pink shoelaces
a polka dot vest and man oh man
give me tan shoes with pink shoelaces
and a big panama with a purple hat band
oohooh ooh ooh
oohooh ooh ooh
oohooh ooh ooh
and a big panama with a purple hat band
