You got your toecaps reinforced with steel (And a) Hard-wearing sole and heel Make those tired feet feel like new Take your pick, black or brown Great for the country or the man in town
You´re gonna need a quality shoe
You don´t want no stand-by pair ´Cos these´ll take the wear and tear Made to take good care of you For that trip by road or rail For extra grip on those rocky trails You´re gonna need a quality shoe
Now they maybe ain´t too hot for dancing But I don´t foresee too much of that You ain´t exactly gonna be prancing Around in the moonlight With a cane and a top hat
If you could use a change of pace And be excused from the rat race Just take a look at what´s on view
Lace ´em up, walk around I guarantee you can´t wear ´em down You´re gonna need a quality shoe
Now I wish you sunny skies And happiness wherever you may go But you got to realise There´ll be wind, there´ll be rain And occasional snow
You´re gonna want to smile in them If you´re gonna walk a mile in them There´ll be times when you´ll be blue To laugh at rainy days and then Make your getaways in them You´re gonna need a quality shoe
You got your toecaps reinforced with steel
(You got your) Hard-wearing sole and heel Make those tired feet feel like new Take your pick, black or brown Great for the country or the man in town You´re gonna need a quality shoe
