The Roches: No Shoes

One, two, three, four.

I had no shoes and I complained,

Until I met a man who had no feet.

That's really beat.

I had no feet and I complained,

Until I met a man who had no knees.

That was his disease.

I had no knees and I complained,

Until I met a man and you know what?

He had no butt.

I had no butt and I complained about it all,

And then I met a man, who had no balls.

I had no balls and I complained,

Until I met a man who had no guts.

No balls, no butt, and now no guts.

I had no guts and I complained,

Until I met a man who had no heart.

The most important part.

I had no heart and I complained I did not understand,

And then I met a man who had no hands.

I had no hands and I complained,

Until I met a man who was a wreck.

He had no neck!

I had no neck and I complained,

Until I met a man who had no chin.

Some folks lose,

Some folks win.

I had no chin and I complained,

Until I met a man who had no nose.

That really blows!

I had no nose and I complained,

Until I met a man who never cried.

He had no eyes.

I had no eyes and I complained,

Until I met a man who felt no pain.

He had no brain!

I had no brain and I complained,

Until I met a man who had no head.

As good as dead.

I had no head and I complained,

Until I met a man who had no hair.

There was nothin' there.

I had no hair and I complained,

Until I met a man who had no hat.

Picture that.

Not even a hat.

I had no hat and I complained,

Until I met a man who had no sky.

No reason why.

I had no sky and I complained,

Until I met a man who had no stars.

He had no stars?

No Venus or Mars!

No Venus or Mars??

And not any stars!

I had no stars and I complained,

Until I met a man who had no god.

That's rather odd.

I had no god and I complained,

Until I met a man who had no faith.

Nothin' just in case.

I had no faith and I complained,

Until I met a man who had no love.

Nothin' to dream of!

I had no love and I complained,

Until I met a man who had no hope.

At the end of his rope.

I had no hope and I complained,

Until I met a man who had no luck.

That really sucks!

I had no luck and I complained,

That I had nothin' left to lose.

And then I met a man who had no shoes.
