Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Now I got a guy, and his name is Dooley
He's my guy, and I love him truly
He's not good looking, heaven knows
But I'm wild about his crazy clothes
[Verse 2]
He wears tan shoes with pink shoe laces
A polka dot vest and, man, oh, man
He wears tan shoes with pink shoe laces
And a big Panama with a purple hat band
[Verse 3]
He takes me deep sea fishing in a submarine
We go to drive-in movies in a limousine
He's got a whirly-burly and a twelve foot yacht
Ah, but that's a not all he's got
[Verse 4]
He's got tan shoes with pink shoe laces
A polka dot vest and, man, oh, man
He wears tan shoes with pink shoe laces
And a big Panama with a purple hat band
[Verse 5]
Now, Dooley had a feeling we were going to war
So he went out and enlisted in a fighting corps
But he landed in the brig for raising such a storm
When they tried to put him in a uniform
[Verse 6]
He wanted tan shoes with pink shoe laces
A polka dot vest and, man, oh, man
He wanted tan shoes with pink shoe laces
And a big Panama with a purple hat band
[Verse 7]
Now, one day Dooley started feeling sick
And he decided that he'd better make his will out quick
He said, "Just before the angels come to carry me
I want it down in writing how to bury me"
[Verse 8]
Wearing tan shoes with pink shoe laces
A polka dot vest and, man, oh, man
Oh, give me tan shoes with pink shoe laces
And a big Panama with a purple hat band
[Verse 9]
And a big Panama with a purple hat band
