Truman was a Shoeman
He was a rather dapper haberdasher down in Kansas City
But he traded in the suits and ties for campaigns and committees
But though he went on to become a U.S. President
It never stopped him from his first passion - being a dashing gent.
Truman was a shoeman.
He got his kicks in with nice kicks
Truman was a shoeman
His pairs numbered 96!
Oxfords, slippers, cleats, and clogs
He’d slow for a loafer, lace up for a jog
Sneakers, sandals, or deck shoes
Putting on a snazzy pair could take away his blues
Truman was a shoeman.
He got his kicks in with nice kicks
Truman was a shoeman
His pairs numbered 96!
Saddle shoes, wingtips, and monk strap
A different shoe for day or night for salsa or tap
In boots he felt like he was walking in heaven
And in case you want to buy him more, Harry’s a size 7.
Truman was a shoeman.
He got his kicks in with nice kicks
Truman was a shoeman
His pairs numbered 96!
