Walkin' Shoes © Sandy Rapp 2008
Chorus:
Got new shoes I got Walkin' Shoes
Ya' know I can't lose in Walkin' Shoes.
No more heels I got tired of these
And I'm walkin' to equality.
Eighteen cents ago I tippy toed
Around the town and down the rocky road.
My fifty-nine-cent dollar put me backwards in high heels,
Up on stilts and foot-bound was the deal.
Now my seventy-seven dollar's out to smash
The ceilings and the slippers made of glass.
I'm steppin' up at last and I'm steppin' fairly fast.
I'm steppin' up in sensible shoes ya see.
Repeat chorus
They claimed stridency, it was my flaw,
I spoke so loud they couldn't hear the roar.
Do my young sisters know of times not long ago
When family planning was against the law?
I wonder now will those times come again.
Let's run for president, if not now when?
Let's run for Mother Earth let's run for all we're worth.
Let's walk the walk and keep on walkin' tall.
