Socks 'N' Sandals - Graham Parker

I dunno why you love me baby

I dunno why you care

I’m losin’my memory

I’m losin’my hair

I lost my car keys around here somewhere

I’m part of the furniture

I’m stuck to that chair

So i dunno why you love me baby

I dunno why you care

Socks’n’sandals that’s what i wear

I’m livin' in the suburbs

And wearin' bad clothes

Bar-becuing hot dogs

And keepin’a clean nose

My best friend’s a hillbilly

With a moonshine still

Actually i’m lyin'

He’s an accountant named bill

So i don’t know why you love me baby

I don’t know why you care

Socks’n’sandals that’s what i wear

Socks’n’sandals

As i hold onto your love handles

Socks’n’sandals

As i hold onto your love handles

Porcelain ducks are lined

Up on my mantle

Fish in a pond and

One of them’s a fantail

One of those clocks with

The rays like the sun

I eat my dinner with

My raincoat on

So i don’t know why you love me baby

I dunno why you care

Socks’n’sandals that’s what i wear

I got that midnite-blue painting

Of that oriental girl

You know the big-eyed one

Yeah you see her everywhere

Cooking sherry and a velveteen chair

And in the evening i sit right there

So i dunno why you love me baby

I dunno why you care

Socks’n' sandals that’s what i wear
